7-Eleven Inc.’s Bring Your Own Cup Day is set for Sept. 13 this year, the convenience-store retailer announced Thursday. For one day only, it is inviting customers to bring their fishbowls, flower vases, pitchers, popcorn buckets and other containers to fill up with any flavor of Slurpee frozen drink for $1.99 at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes c-stores.

There is a limit of one cup per person, and the container must fit within the 10-inch cutout in the in-store display to show it will fit under the beverage dispenser. It must be clean, watertight, leakproof and able to stand upright. It can only be filled with Slurpee drinks.

For this year’s BYOC Day, 7-Eleven is debuting two new Slurpee flavors, grape Powerade Xtra Sour and Nerds Strawberry, inspired by the candy.

“Every Bring Your Own Cup Day, Slurpee drink fans push the limits with the most outrageous cups imaginable. It’s a can’t-miss tradition that perfectly captures the playful spirit of the Slurpee brand,” said Randy Quinn, senior vice president of vault and proprietary beverages at 7-Eleven. 

The chains are also offering 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards loyalty members exclusive $2 deals on select snacks, candy, protein picks and drinks through Sept. 14, from Cheez-Its and Sour Patch Kids to Clif Bars, Fairlife beverages and more, it said. Customers can earn and redeem points on various items in stores nationwide through the loyalty programs, which have  more than 100 million members

RaceTrac enters uncharted territory with its Potbelly acquisition

The Bottom Line: There has never been a purchase of a restaurant chain the size of the sandwich brand Potbelly by a convenience-store chain. History suggests it could be a difficult road.

Wondering about Wonder

Marc Lore's food startup is combining c-stores, restaurants, meal kits and delivery into a single "mealtime platform." Can it be greater than the sum of its parts?

Technology/Services

Most 7-Eleven rewards members use self-checkout but few use it every time

Faster transactions, shorter lines and ease of use drive interest, age-restricted items and technical issues still pose barriers
