Convenience stores across the country are celebrating National Hot Dog Day on July 17 with deals, promotions and social media posts.
For example, participating 7-Eleven stores will commemorate the unofficial holiday with $1 Quarter-Pound Big Bite all-beef hot dogs.
7-Eleven customers can take advantage of the hot $1 deal to try a new extra-hot hot dog.

Whether it’s a baseball game, a neighborhood potluck, or a pool party, hot dogs are always featured,” said Robin Murphy, 7-Eleven product director. “On July 17, 7-Eleven customers can enjoy a Quarter-Pound Big Bite hot dog for just $1 wherever they are.”
