DALLAS – Come rain or shine, U.S. military personnel and veterans can spiff up their vehicles with a free scrub on Nov. 11 at participating 7-Eleven stores.

The freebie is available at 7-Eleven locations with car washes from 12:01 a.m. until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day.  Current and former military personnel will be treated to the company’s top-of-the-line “The Works” services that include undercarriage blast, pre-soak, wheel wash, foam conditioner, Rain-X surface protectant, rinse and power dry. The company gave away 1,500 car washes on Veterans Day in 2014.

“Our military veterans and current personnel are ‘shining stars’ to us, and we want their vehicles to shine, too,” said 7-Eleven’s car wash manager Charnann Cox.

This is the fourth year 7-Eleven has offered free car washes on Veteran’s Day for retired and active military personnel of any branch of the U.S. Armed Services. The retailer operates more than 300 car washes in 16 states: California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

7-Eleven has consistently been named among the top veteran- and military- friendly companies.  Named one of the Top 100 Military-Friendly Employers on a list published annually by G.I Jobs magazine, 7-Eleven was the only food retailer included and, among all retailers on the list, ranked third. Business publications like Forbes and Entrepreneur rank 7-Eleven among the top franchise opportunities. 

Earlier this year, the company awarded three military veterans with a franchise fee-free 7-Eleven store of their choosing, each valued at up to $190,000. The one Navy and two Army veterans competed among 1,700 entrants from all military branches in the company’s Operation: Take Command contest.

In addition, 7-Eleven has been recognized as a military-friendly company for its veteran hiring practices, military veterans’ franchise program and a charitable mission to support military families. Military veterans serve in every level of the company from top management to field staff to store associates. The retailer also has supported military-assistance organizations including Hire Heroes USA, the USO, Reserve Aid, Warrior Gateway and Operation Mend.
