Limited-Edition Twinkies Arrive From Hostess and 7-Eleven
July 11, 2024
J.M. Smucker Co. has teamed up with 7-Eleven to introduce limited-edition cherry-flavored Hostess Twinkies for the first time. These Twinkies feature spongy cakes filled with cherry Slurpee-flavored crème and are available exclusively at select 7-Eleven stores through mid-August.
Images have surfaced online showcasing the special packaging of this treat along with the bright red cherry filling inside of the Twinkies. These limited-edition cherry-flavored Hostess Twinkies will be priced between $2.59 and $2.79.
According to the 7-Eleven website, “Customers can earn and redeem points on various items in stores nationwide through its 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards loyalty programs with more than 80 million members, place an order in the 7NOW delivery app in over 95% of the convenience retailer’s footprint, or rely on 7-Eleven for other convenient services.” This includes the new cherry-flavored Twinkies.
These limited-edition Twinkies are also available at participating Stripes gas stations as well as Speedway Gas Station convenience stores.
On April 16, 2024, 7-Eleven, Inc. announced the acquisition of 204 Stripes convenience stores and Laredo Taco Company restaurants from Sunoco LP. These stores, located in West Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, join over 13,000 7-Eleven, Stripes, and Speedway locations in the U.S. and Canada. With this acquisition, 7-Eleven now owns and operates all Stripes and Laredo Taco Company locations nationwide.
Additionally, July 11, 2024, is when 7-Eleven is celebrating its annual Slurpee Day by offering free Slurpees to customers. This tradition, which began in 2002, coincides with the numerical date 7/11. The Slurpee, introduced in 1966, was named for the sound it makes when consumed. This year, 7-Eleven is featuring a special Mountain Dew Freedom Fusion flavor and providing an exclusive cup designed by a 7-year-old cancer patient, Nolan, in collaboration with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Additionally, customers who use 7Rewards can get a coupon for another free small Slurpee redeemable throughout July.
