Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart, Part II

Posted in Daily Sketch, General, Animated Stuff on July 17th, 2007 by Sharvonique

I finally made my way to the Kwik-E-Mart and I was so excited. Probably more excited than anybody else there! But I think it takes someone who loves animation to truly appreciate the experience, as it’s like being a guest character in the Simpsons’ cartoon. Well, enough of my babbling. Here are the photos!

To see someone posing as Duff Man would’ve really put this over the top for me, but Duff beer wasn’t included as one of the promotional items. D’oh!

I also just realized that I’m drinking a Buzz cola while writing this post. Buuuuurrrrrrpppp!

Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart, Part I

Posted in General, Animated Stuff on July 11th, 2007 by Sharvonique

7-Eleven is helping to promote The Simpsons Movie by converting 11 of its US stores into actual Kwik-E-Marts from the show. The store fronts were changed to recreate the animated look of a Kwik-E-Mart, and they’re going to sell Simpson-themed items like Squishees, KrustyO’s, and Buzz Cola.

The best news is that one of the 11 stores is located in Bladensburg, MD, which isn’t very far from where I live! I’m going to go as soon as I get the chance and will post pictures.

Here’s a list of all the US stores:

  • New York City, NY                                              
  • Chicago, IL
  • Dallas, TX
  • Denver, CO
  • Burbank, CA
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Henderson, NV
  • Orlando, FL
  • Mountain View, CA
  • Seattle, WA
  • Bladensburg, MD

Thank you! Come again!
