SAGINAW, Mich. -- The Saginaw Spirit, a team in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) partnered with 7-Eleven licensee, Garb-Ko Inc., operator or more than 100 7-Eleven convenience stores, to launch a new promotion for the upcoming 2007-2008 hockey season called Show your Cup and Save, reported PurSportsCentral.com.
"We have had a great relationship with 7-Eleven since the first year of the Spirit project," Spirit vice president of sales and marketing, Brian Prout, told the site. "This new promotion only strengthens our relationship and will drive traffic to both businesses. This is just one more exciting opportunity for our fans."
As part of the promotion, when fans bring a 32-ounce or larger Big Gulp, Slurpee or coffee cup into the team’s Spirit Store or The Dow Event Center, they will receive an upper level Spirit ticket for $7.11, the Web site reported.
