7-Eleven, Inc. is activating chicken deals across its 13,000-plus U.S. and Canada store network for National Chicken Finger Day (July 27) and National Chicken Wing Day (July 29), deploying $1 LTO price points through its in-store restaurant concepts to drive foodservice traffic during a historically high-velocity daypart window. The operator recorded nearly 1.9 million wings sold on National Chicken Wing Day last year — a benchmark that is shaping the scale of this year's push.
The Offers
Three distinct promotional tiers span 7-Eleven's banner ecosystem. At Raise the Roost restaurants inside participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores, single hand-breaded chicken tenders or traditional bone-in wings are priced at $1 each — available classic, spicy, or sauced — valid July 27 through July 30. The price point is a direct traffic driver designed to pull customers into the foodservice set during a period when convenience-channel chicken competes directly with QSR value menus.
Speedy Café, the hot-foods concept embedded in Speedway locations, is running an extended summer offer through August 25: Speedy Rewards loyalty members can order an 8-piece boneless or 5-piece bone-in wing pack for $5. The loyalty-gated structure rewards the chain's enrolled base — which, combined with 7Rewards, exceeds 100 million members — while creating a measurable attach rate for the foodservice counter.
The third vector is off-premise. Through the 7NOW delivery app, customers can order 10 wings for $8, with sauce options including ranch, barbecue, buffalo, and marinara. The delivery window runs through August 25, positioning the chain to capture incremental foodservice volume beyond the store visit.
Convenience Foodservice Context
The multi-concept structure reflects 7-Eleven's broader strategy of operating differentiated foodservice brands within its convenience retail footprint rather than relying solely on grab-and-go hot cases. Raise the Roost — a chicken-and-biscuits concept — and Speedy Café function as embedded fast-casual units, allowing the parent company to compete on prepared-food quality and menu specificity against both QSR chains and other convenience operators expanding their foodservice programs.
"Wings and tenders have a way of turning any day into a reason to gather, dip and dig in," said William Armstrong, Senior Vice President of Restaurant Operations and Innovation at 7-Eleven, Inc. Armstrong framed the promotion around multiple consumption occasions — lunch, group feeding, and delivery — signaling that the chain is deliberately targeting multiple dayparts rather than a single traffic spike.
For convenience-channel operators, chicken remains one of the highest-margin prepared-food categories when hand-breaded in-house, and the $1 per-piece structure at Raise the Roost functions as a loss-leader entry point to drive attachment to beverages and sides. The 7NOW delivery tie-in extends the revenue window past the in-store visit, a mechanic that convenience chains have increasingly adopted as third-party and proprietary delivery platforms mature. Operators tracking foodservice innovation in the convenience segment and broader LTO strategy across QSR and fast-casual will recognize this promotion as a textbook multi-channel activation built around a culturally resonant calendar hook.
