More than 300 locations in 16 states plan to participate in the promotion.

This Veteran’s Day, 7‑Eleven Inc. car wash locations offer current and former military personnel a free car wash.

The free car washes are available from 12:01 a.m. until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11, when the country observes Veterans Day.

This is the third 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.

To locate a 7‑Eleven store with a car wash, veterans can visit the 7‑Eleven smartphone app and click on the map, check the car wash filter and search for the nearest store. Stores with car washes also can be located on the store locator tab at www.7‑Eleven.com. Click on “Looking for Something Special” and check car wash, along with location and radius to locate closest ones.

Named one of the Top 100 Military-Friendly Employers on a list published annually by G.IJobs 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.

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.
