No 7-Eleven, No Problem: Here’s How You Can Get a Free Slurpee

El Paso may no longer have anymore 7-Eleven gas stations, but that doesn't mean we can’t participate in 7-Eleven day, now known as National Slurpee Day!

Growing up, 7-eleven day was a core memory because it was a time where my parents would gather all five of their kids and we would head to the gas station to grab our favorite slurpee and beat the heat!

Despite El Paso not having any 7-Eleven stores, locals can still grab a free Slurpee at a few local gas stations and this year couples are in for an even sweeter treat!

Here’s How El Pasoans Can Grab Free Slurpee’s on 7-Eleven Day

Once upon a time, Slurpee Day was known as 7 Eleven days. People would head to their local 7-Eleven gas station to get their free Slurpee, but these days 7-Eleven stores don’t exist in some cities and states so the unofficial holiday became Slurpee Day.

A few years ago El Paso got rid of 7-Eleven convenience stores and turned them into DK convenience stores.

Despite El Paso not having any 7-Eleven stores, locals can still grab a free Slurpee by heading to any Speedway or Stripes gas station!

On Saturday, July 11, 7-Eleven is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the iconic Slurpee drink and the company's 99th birthday by giving away free small Slurpee drinks at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes locations across the country, while supplies last. The annual Slurpee Day tradition has become a favorite summer event for frozen drink fans.

This year's celebration also introduces a brand-new, limited-time flavor: Mountain Dew Confetti Chill Slurpee. Inspired by birthday cake with a citrus twist, the frozen drink combines bright lemon-lime flavors with hints of vanilla icing. Guests can also enjoy festive anniversary cups and colorful sugar crystal toppings at participating locations.

To mark the milestone, 7-Eleven is also encouraging customers to try the first-ever "Slurpee Date," turning a quick frozen drink run into a fun, low-cost outing with a friend, partner or even a first date. Select stores across the country will feature special photo opportunities and exclusive anniversary-themed double straws, though not all locations will participate. 

For El Paso residents, there are plenty of places to join the celebration. You can find participating stores using the official locators:
