7-Eleven Kicks Off Monday Coffee Promotion
To sweeten the celebration, 7-Eleven created a special treat for the occasion: the limited-time Birthday Cake Cappuccino. Customers can try the yellow cake and frosting-flavored cappuccino infused with sprinkles at participating locations.
"As we celebrate 60 years of offering fresh-brewed coffee to-go, we're excited to thank our loyal customers who have made 7-Eleven their go-to coffee spot for decades with a special deal to help kick start their week," said Dennis Phelps, senior vice president, merchandising (vault & proprietary beverages). "This anniversary is a reminder of how far we've come in shaping coffee culture, and we look forward to continuing to deliver the best in convenience and innovation to coffee lovers nationwide."
7-Eleven began selling coffee by the cup in 1964, revolutionizing both the brand and the coffee industry and later introducing the concept of to-go coffee cups to customers nationwide, the company said. Since then, the retailer has been a leader in commuter coffee culture. Customers can buy 7-Eleven coffee in-store or get it anytime, anywhere through 7NOW Delivery.
