IRVING, Texas — Stripes Stores, a division of 7-Eleven Inc., has released three limited-edition, collectible cups featuring singer Selena. The 2019 Selena commemorative collectible cups are for sale at Stripes stores in Texas and Louisiana while supplies last.

Company officials worked with Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, to create the three designs for the 2019 collection featuring the music legend.

“We are excited to work yet again with Stripes on these beautiful commemorative cups for the fans,” said Quintanilla, CEO of Q Productions. “Selena definitely continues to inspire us all, and this is just a small gesture to help celebrate her amazing legacy.”

The first cup design is called Queen of Cumbia and features a nod to pop art with a retro look around a black and white sketch of Selena. The second cup, Selena Rose, features Selena against her signature white roses. The third cup is called Selena Forever, showcasing her iconic purple tones throughout the cup. This year’s cups hold either hot or cold beverages and are double-wall insulated, dishwasher-safe and BPA-free.

We look forward to bringing all three of these beautifully designed, high-quality Selena cups to our customers. We encourage Selena fans to get their cups early, while supplies last.”

Stripes is a founding sponsor of Fiesta de la Flor (FDLF), a two-day event honoring the life and legacy of Selena Quintanilla in Corpus Christi, Texas, the star's hometown. The fifth annual event was held April 12-13.
