Chilly Manitoba the Slurpee Capital of the World
Friday, 11 July 2014 | by Pat's Picks
You might think a hot weather city like Houston or Las Vegas would reign supreme when it comes to Slurpee sales. But 7-Eleven says the biggest market for its slushy beverages is the chilly Canadian province of Manitoba. It’s earned the title of Slurpee Capital every year since 7-Eleven has tracked Slurpee sales in 1999. A spokeswoman for the company explains, Manitobans “have a greater appreciation for everything that’s cold.”
