Celebrating Three Decades of Operation Chill® by 7-Eleven
Celebrating Three Decades of Operation Chill®
7-Eleven, Inc. proudly recognizes a significant milestone: the 30th anniversary of Operation Chill®, its hallmark community outreach initiative dedicated to enhancing positive interactions between law enforcement and youth. Since its inception in 1995, this program has been pivotal in strengthening community bonds through rewarding good behavior with fun incentives.
Empowering Community Connections
Over the years, Operation Chill® has seen participation expand significantly, now encompassing over 1,300 law enforcement agencies across the nation. By issuing more than 24 million coupons redeemable for a small Slurpee®, the program has positively impacted a vast number of young individuals, encouraging acts of kindness and good citizenship.
The Impact of Small Gestures
Marissa Jarratt, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer at 7-Eleven, believes that "Operation Chill is more than just a free Slurpee drink coupon—it reinforces the power of small gestures to build big relationships." This sentiment reflects how such programs can break barriers and foster trust within communities.
Incentivizing Positive Behavior
This year, the operation will distribute around 640,000 new coupons for local children, with rewards granted for positive deeds such as wearing helmets, helping neighbors, or keeping the environment clean. The aim is to not only incentivize good behavior but also to connect children with law enforcement officers, creating a foundation for lasting relationships.
Celebrating Community and Connection
Detective P. Wolan from the Grapevine Police Department stated, "Connecting with the community—especially our youth—is at the heart of what we do. A free Slurpee drink coupon may seem small, but it opens the door to meaningful conversations and trust-building moments." This highlights the heartwarming essence behind the initiative, where even minor tokens can create significant community impact.

Law enforcement agencies interested in participating in Operation Chill® can register and request coupons to engage their local communities meaningfully. Accessing best practices and tools provided by the program helps amplify its success further.
