I was surfing around Yahoo! News yesterday when I came across this story: 7-Elevens become Simpsons ‘Kwik-E-Marts’. How awesome is that? Eleven locations in the US and one in Canada have been converted to Kwik-E-Marts, selling things like Buzz Cola, KrustyO’s cereal, and Squishees. There’s a wicked photoset at Flickr that shows just how detailed these real-life Kwik-E-Marts are.
John Biehler visited the Coquitlam, BC location yesterday (lucky bastard):
One thing that struck me (and that others have posted about) is the lengths they went to do it right….it’s easy enough to slap a few posters up for a big movie but to transform an entire store to something as beloved as a Kwik-E-Mart is pure genius.
Agreed. This is one of the best movie promotion ideas ever! Too bad I won’t get to see one of the Kwik-E-Marts in person. The movie opens July 27th.

I read about it, but seeing that Flickr set is awesome. I thought they would only have the Squishee machine, but seeing those donuts, Krusty O’s and Buzz Cola is just awesome.
That is awesome!
can you imagine what it might be like to actually work at a KWIK-E-MART?
