Free Slurpee at 7-11 on 7-11-02

[invstg8r]

To celebrate their 75th anniversary, 7-11 will be giving out free 7.11 oz size slurpees on July 11th.

No mention yet on the 7-11 website, however I received the info from an industry magazine named "Promo". Here's a snippage:

"DALLAS-BASED 7-Eleven celebrates its 75th birthday next month with a bevy of in-store promotions and a two-day party in New York City.

?We founded the c-store channel,? says director of marketing Bob Merz. ?It's cause for celebration.?

The chain will join with up to 10 partners for a month-long flurry of anniversary-themed offers such as Miller Beer 10-packs and Verizon phonecards for $7.11; 75 cents off Pepsi-Cola's

Gatorade; and Kraft Foods' Planters peanuts packaged in nostalgic burlap bags. On July 11, stores will be adorned with red, white, and blue signage and all shoppers will receive free 7.11-ounce Slurpees. TV, print, and radio ads will support."

And here's a linkage to the full article.

I'm from the Dallas area and love 7-11's slurpies... I'm now at college and there are no 7-11's here I should write to them and let them know that this city needs their stores (especially by July 11th )

If 7-11 is Dallas based, why aren't they having the party in DALLAS??? I wanna go to party, but I'm in DALLAS, not NY <pout>

I'm not saying NY's a bad city/state, it's just that I wanna go to the party too!!!

I'll be in line for my free slurpee all the same

mmmmmmmmmm
can't wait two days!
(luckily, there's 3 of us that would go, and 3x7-11's nearby!!!! Although, we might finish our first round...not probable to get second round....and then too far/stupid/dead if we finish 3 rounds...

Thanks for the info! It was 103 in parts of the SF Bay Area today, a new record. Supposed to be hotter the next few days. So a free slurpee will rule.

Hey, can someone pick one up for me and ship it, I will gladly reimburse you by paypal. It is warm over here in the Czech Republic too but at least most of you have A/C, none over here in my room or my work. Be back in the US soon.

 

[technophobic]

Only first 1000! I better stand in line now. :Q

 

[Nefrodite]

do you realize how small 7.11 oz is? the 32oz is the 99cents one scary.. hehe

 

[DeafeningSilence]

Sweet deal!!!

 

[shurato]

Thanks I live near two 7-11's...both 1 min apart from each other I'll pick 2 up in the morning and then 2 in the night time when the workers change. HEEEHEEE...slurpeee overloaddddd.

 

[Flatbroke]

Stand in line for 7.11 ozs? Man I have more than that dribble out of my nose, during the "brain pain" semi-concious period of first ingestion when I get the 32oz.

 

[J3anyus]

I know where I'm going tomorrow
