Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

7-Eleven is Running the Roll-Up & Refuel™ Initiative

— July 10, 2025 — Marketing
7-Eleven has introduced a new marketing initiative titled Roll-Up & Refuel™. This multi-platform campaign is designed to resonate with the store's core customer base — and the younger demographic, in particular — by highlighting the brand’s integration into daily routines and subcultures.

The Roll-Up & Refuel™ initiative emphasizes two distinct yet interconnected demographics — skateboarders during daytime hours and car enthusiasts at night. Through visual storytelling, 7-Eleven calls attention to how its locations serve as a cultural hub for these communities.

By featuring real-life scenarios, such as grabbing a Big Gulp® drink or a Big Bite® hot dog between activities, the campaign reinforces 7-Eleven’s role as a reliable stop for quick refreshments and fuel. The promotional effort spans television, radio, social media, and digital advertising, with content tailored for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to maximize engagement.
