The 7-Eleven 7/11 Birthday Collection is being added to the convenience store retailer's 7Collection to provide consumers with a way to show off their pride for the iconic brand.
The capsule collection of merchandise includes various tees for kids and adults as well as baby onesies, party decor, gift bags and custom wrapping paper. The various items celebrate the brand's 96th anniversary and also commemorate consumers who are born on July 11 to help them show off their pride for being indirectly associated with the brand retailer.
Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer Marissa Jarratt spoke on the 7-Eleven 7/11 Birthday Collection saying, "We've always thought that being born on July 11 had its perks, but we're excited to extend the birthday celebration this year not only to those who share our birthday, but to all of the loyal fans of Slurpee. From festive décor to craveable snacks and of course, iconic Slurpee drinks, we have everything you need to celebrate the best day of the year."
