7-Eleven is starting pumpkin spice season early this year, announcing that it is “here to satisfy your seasonal yearnings with hot and cold pumpkin spice sips,” starting today. Drinks are available now in stores. Additionally, the retailer debuted a pumpkin spice Slurpee drink at five select stores for a limited time.
"7-Eleven customers are huge pumpkin spice fans, so we're always looking for reasons to bring out the pumpkins a bit early and delight customers with new creations," said Dennis Phelps, senior vice president, merchandising (vault and proprietary beverages) at 7-Eleven. "In addition to our exciting pumpkin spice coffee offerings at stores nationwide, the introduction of the pumpkin spice Slurpee drink is a fun experiment for fans in some of our top Slurpee drink markets. This year, you don't have to just be a coffee lover to get your pumpkin spice fix."
According to 7-Eleven, “The pumpkin spice Slurpee drink is unlike anything fall flavor fans have tasted before, with the flavor of pumpkin and cinnamon spice swirled together in the form of a refreshing, ice-cold Slurpee drink.” The five select stores offering the limited time drink are located in Texas, Ohio, California and New York.
Also starting today, 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores are offering several pumpkin-inspired coffee options, including:
- Pumpkin cream cold brew: The retailer’s latest addition to its pumpkin-inspired lineup, this drink “combines the smooth, robust flavor of cold brew coffee with the sweet and creamy goodness of pumpkin pie spices.”
- Pumpkin spice coffee: A pumpkin spice coffee blend that incorporates cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
- Pumpkin spice latte: 7-Eleven invites customers to sip on the original fall staple, which has seasonal spices on top of a pumpkin-flavored latte.
In 2022 and 2023, 7-Eleven was the first retailer to offer fall flavors including pumpkin spice.
