Manitoba is the Slurpee Capital of the World for the 20th year in a row, according to 7-Eleven Canada.

The store is also celebrating a milestone of their own — 50 years in Canada. The first store opened in Calgary on June 29, 1969 and now has 548 stores across the country.

“Slurpee has been the centerpiece of so many Canadian memories and we’re very proud to continue to grow with our country for years to come,” said Doug Rosencrans, GM of 7-Eleven Canada in a statement.
