What Is the History of 7-Eleven and the Slurpee?
7-Eleven’s journey began in 1927 as an ice house storefront in Dallas, Texas. The company was renamed 7-Eleven in 1946 to reflect its extended operating hours from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. Today, 7-Eleven operates over 84,500 stores in 19 countries and territories.
The Slurpee, 7-Eleven’s iconic frozen beverage, was introduced in 1966 after the company made a licensing deal with The Icee Company. The name “Slurpee” was coined by advertising executive Bob Stanford, inspired by the sound the drink makes when sipped through a straw.
Over the years, the Slurpee has become a cultural phenomenon, with 7-Eleven offering a wide range of flavors and promotions, such as Bring Your Own Cup Day and exclusive movie tie-ins.
As 7-Eleven celebrates its 97th birthday, the company continues to innovate and expand its offerings while staying true to its mission of providing convenience and value to customers. So, head to your nearest 7-Eleven on July 11th to enjoy a free Slurpee and join in the birthday festivities!
