Michigan Slurpee lovers are in for a refreshing treat this summer as 7-Eleven celebrates its 98th birthday with free frozen drinks and exclusive giveaways. Known as National 7-Eleven Day or simply Slurpee Day, the annual celebration on July 11 invites customers across the country to grab a small Slurpee for free. In Michigan, residents can join in the fun by visiting their nearest 7-Eleven, Speedway, or Stripes store to sip on their favorite icy flavors without spending a dime.
The iconic convenience store chain was founded in 1927 and has been a staple in American neighborhoods ever since. In 2025, 7-Eleven marks its 98th year in business and continues the long-standing tradition of offering a free Slurpee on July 11. This gesture not only celebrates the brand’s name but also pays homage to one of its most beloved products. The Slurpee, originally developed in the 1960s after 7-Eleven modified a frozen drink machine, has become synonymous with the brand’s identity and continues to be a favorite summertime treat for many.
On July 11, Michigan customers can enjoy a small Slurpee at no cost simply by visiting participating store locations. Additionally, those who are part of the 7Rewards or Speedy Rewards programs can scan their app to receive a free Slurpee coupon that remains valid through July 31. This ensures even those who can’t make it on the exact day have a chance to redeem their free drink before the end of the month.
Detroit-based Speedy Rewards members can enjoy a quirky bonus this year—a temporary Slurpee-activated tongue tattoo. These fun, colorful tattoos appear on the tongue after sipping a frozen Slurpee and come in various colors like red, green, blue, and pink. Participating Speedway stores in the Detroit area will distribute these tongue tattoos along with the complimentary drinks, adding an extra layer of fun to the celebration.
To find the nearest 7-Eleven or Speedway store in Michigan, customers can use the official store locator available on the 7-Eleven website. The chain operates dozens of outlets across the state, making it easy for residents to join in the celebration wherever they are.
In addition to the free Slurpee offer, 7-Eleven is also rolling out a variety of other promotional deals. Through the 7NOW delivery app, users can save $7.11 on any order over $20 using the promo code 711DAY. There's also a chance for lucky customers to win $5,000 in daily sweepstakes via the 7-Eleven and Speedway apps, continuing through early 2026. Fans of limited-edition merchandise can shop for T-shirts, Slurpee-themed outfits, and other collectibles as part of the 7-Eleven Birthday Collection available online.
Those craving something new can also enjoy the return of the MTN Dew Infinite Swirl Slurpee. This pineapple-berry blend is back in both frozen and bottled formats, and will be available in participating locations while supplies last.
As temperatures soar in mid-July, the promise of a cool, refreshing drink and playful extras like tongue tattoos and rewards makes National 7-Eleven Day a highly anticipated event. For nearly a century, 7-Eleven has been part of everyday American life, and through celebrations like these, it continues to cement its place in the hearts—and hands—of customers.
Whether you’re a longtime Slurpee fan or just looking for a cool way to beat the heat in Michigan, this year’s 7-Eleven Day offers something for everyone. From nostalgic frozen drinks to creative giveaways and exclusive deals, July 11 is more than just a date—it’s a day to sip, smile, and celebrate.
