More than 30,000 convenience stores operated by independents and chains of all sizes are participating in this year’s 24/7 Day on July 24, hosted by the NACS Foundation. The event encourages convenience-store retailers to honor local community heroes including first responders, medical personnel and Red Cross volunteers. This year’s event gives a “High 5 for Heroes” in the form of a unique offer—such as a free coffee, beverage or breakfast sandwich—as a token of gratitude from the retailer and industry.
The event will also raise awareness and donations for the American Red Cross.
