Laziness will no longer be a barrier from getting a Slurpee.

Lazy College Students Can Now Have 7-Eleven Munchies Delivered to Their Dorms

Escaping the “freshman 15” at some schools just got harder: 7-Eleven now delivers to dorms in five states.

The convenience store partnered with mobile app Tapingo to bring dorm-room delivery of Slurpees, snacks and other goodies from the chain’s local outposts to hungry college students. The app lets shoppers virtually “browse” the store’s aisles and place their order with a few taps.

“Sometimes, you just need a Slurpee and a pizza at 1 a.m.,” Tapingo’s chief business officerJeff Hardy said in a release. The 7-Eleven partnership is being rolled out at schools in California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland.

Getting food delivered to dorms is nothing new, of course — college kids have been getting pizza and the like delivered to dorms for ages — but Tapingo aims to makes it easier than scrolling through menus online, then getting on the phone to place the order. The three-year-old startup delivery service, which operates at more than 100 colleges, competes with other app-based mobile delivery services like GrubHub, Postmates, DoorDash and RushOrder. It announced it would start delivering food on-campus from Chipotle Mexican Grill back in September.
