Grab a Frozen Freebie from 7-Eleven and do the Slurpee Dance

With an expected high of 78 degrees on Thursday, it’s fair to say that the weather has cooled down considerably in L.A. But it’s still warm enough to grab a frozen drink, especially it happens to be free.

On Thursday, July 11, the convenience store chain 7-Eleven celebrates its 86th birthday by offering free frozen drinks. Participating stores across the nation, including the 7-Eleven on Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock and the store on 4220 Eagle Rock Blvd. in Glassell Park, will give away 7.11-ounce Slurpee drinks from “eleven to seven”—predictably, that is, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Click here to access the 7-Eleven store locator, which highlights stores within a given zip code.

The convenience store chain has given away millions of free Slurpee beverages on July 11 since 2002. In fact, July 11 is known as 7-Eleven Day—and to celebrate this year’s birthday, the convenience store chain has launched a video (attached) that teaches hardcore Slurpee lovers how to do the Slurpee Dance.

Typically, 7-Eleven stores warn that the best way to ensure that you don’t miss out on an icy treat is to arrive early before limited supplies of the Slurpees run out.
