Amid recent national headlines about corporate footprint shifts, our two neighborhood 7-Eleven locations right here on Independence Avenue—at 1701 Independence Ave. and 3201 Independence Ave.—remain active hubs for Northeast residents looking to stretch their summer budgets. Whether you are prepping for a backyard barbecue or trying to take the sting out of filling up your tank, our local storefronts have a lineup of summer deals, fuel discounts, and surprising dietary options worth stopping for.

Summer Fuel Relief Right on the Avenue

With gas prices fluctuating as the summer travel season heats up, finding a break at the pump is a top priority for Northeast families. While national averages hover around the $3.99 mark, 7-Eleven is using its 7Rewards loyalty program to offer some of the most aggressive fuel discounts of the season.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can instantly unlock savings by texting SAVE to 711711 to receive 25¢ off per gallon on your next three fill-ups. To claim it at either Independence Avenue station, simply hit the 7Rewards button at the pump and enter your phone number before fueling.

The Big 50¢ Summer Discount

The biggest pump discount of the year lands on just two strategic days this July. On July 7 and July 11, 7-Eleven is slashing 50¢ off per gallon for rewards members.

• How to get it: Text ALLIN to 711711 to opt into the promotion. You will receive a prompt to reply with your zip code, locking in the extra 50¢ savings for those two dates.

Propane Exchange & Neighborhood Essentials

Beyond the fuel pumps, both Independence Avenue locations serve as convenient one-stop shops for summer essentials. If you’re firing up the grill this weekend, you don’t need to make a trip to a massive home improvement warehouse—both neighborhood stores offer quick propane tank exchanges to keep your cookouts going.

Celebrating National 7-Eleven Day (Free Slurpees!)

July 11 isn’t just a massive gas discount day—it’s also National 7-Eleven Day. A tradition since 2002, the chain celebrates its birthday by handing out a free small Slurpee to every customer who walks through the door on 7/11.

If you can’t wait until July 11 to get your frozen fix, both Avenue locations are running a Slurpee Drink Happy Hour all summer long. Every Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., 7Rewards members can grab a large Slurpee for just $1. If you prefer a fizzy fountain drink instead, Big Gulps are unlocked for just 59 cents all month long for rewards members.

Surprising Vegan Finds on Independence Ave.

For our plant-based readers in the Northeast, you might be surprised to learn that 7-Eleven has evolved into a legitimate hotspot for vegan snacks, recently highlighted by PETA. If you’re looking for quick, accidentally vegan treats or a fast bite on the go, keep an eye out on the shelves at 1701 or 3201 Independence Ave. for these favorites:

• The Iconic Slurpee: Yes, the classic frozen drink is entirely vegan-friendly!
• Sweet Treats: Lenny & Larry’s Complete Cookies (packed with plant-based protein), alongside classic staples like Airheads, Sour Patch Kids, and Red Vines.
• Savory & Crunchy: A robust selection of 7-Select private brand snacks, including Kettle Chips (Original, BBQ, Sea Salt & Vinegar, and Spicy Jalapeño) and 7-Select Loco Rollers (Chili Lime).
• Quick Meals: For a more substantial bite, check the grab-and-go section for fresh fruit cups, whole bananas, and hummus with pretzels. You can also peek into the frozen aisle for Amy’s Kitchen dairy-free microwaveable meals—and don’t forget, you can use the in-store microwaves to heat them up right on the spot.

Whether you’re topping off your tank before a weekend trip, swapping out your grill’s propane tank, or cooling off with a dollar Happy Hour Slurpee, our local Independence Avenue spots are geared up to help the neighborhood save this summer.
