As a Simpson's Fan I really appreciated the local Los Angeles area Kwik-E-Mart conversion. Bart probably wouldn't show up to court for his tagging arrest, anyway, and he would be yet another celebrity with a bench warrant!

This Simpsons webpage has lots of great Kwik-E-Mart references.

The Bart Simpson "Tagging" on the side of the Kwik-E-Mart on Olive and Verdugo in the city of Burbank was intriguing to me as a Burbank Criminal Defense Lawyer . If Bart actually was the culprit, Burbank Police Department certainly would have solved the crime. Bart would most likely be visiting Division Two of the Burbank Courthouse for his arraignment!

The real question is, will they be selling the latest issue of Gigantic Asses?

so i went to the kwik-e-mart Friday night at 2:30am after i left a club n there was STILL a line.. i waited 30 minutes to get in n get me a squishee, a pink donut, and 3 cans of Buzz Cola... it was pretty cool, but the employee behind the counter was LESS than happy to blurt out the "thank you.. come again..." he said it, but u could tell he wasnt too enthused by it... then he went on to grumble somethin about $5/hr and 800 hrs a week... still, it was pretty cool.. i just kept it all really light, paid for my merch and got the heck out... if you live in the area, i would suggest going to check it out just so you can say you were a part of it.. they only have 11 kwik-e-marts in the USA...

Great gallery ... I linked to it as part of my roundup post about all the marketing behind the movie on the Influential Marketing blog.

I heard a rumour that one of the KWIK-E-MART employees can't stop himself from saying..... thank you, COME AGAIN! thank you, COME AGAIN! thank you, COME AGAIN! thank you, COME AGAIN! thank you, COME AGAIN! personally however, I don't believe it's true. Shaunpu

Just got back from the Burbank one. They ran out of everything except squishies and donuts. Still cool though! I would have been really impressed if they had ManBoy comics, though.

The Apu angle is SO racist... imagine the poor brown dude who's forced to do the accent.

You know we used to have DUFF BEER in Australia, same can, but it got withdrawn from the market as it wasn't approved by Fox. I still have a few cans.

Oh, Golam is so sweet. After not seeing me for years, he remembered me and asked why I stopped coming in. I told him that I quit cigarettes and coffee and he laughed. He does sound exactly like Apu and seemed very proud of that fact. Everyone was wearing their Kwik-E-Mart shirts proudly. I told him to make sure he keeps his shirt and sells it on E-Bay. PS. Moe also does not reveal that the main ingredient of the Flaming Moe is cough syrup.

That is so nice. Look at the smile of that brave employee. Forced into the marketing scheme that will net 7/11 and Fox billions, yet he still makes $5.75/hour. I hope he has the shotgun just under the counter as well to shoot the first dude who calls him Apu.

Once again, Mo is a conniver: nowhere does his sign say the drink was originally the "Flaming Homer" Flame on boys.

I got the info that there were 11 in the US and 2 in Canada from the 7-11 rep who was at the Burbank 7-11. There may be more in Canada than he was aware of.

The 7-11 closest to where I live was done like that. I didn't think it was one of only two in Canada, though.

guest

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 16:06:50 -0800

Venice and Sepulveda??? That used to be my local 7- I mean Kwik-E-Mart!!! I must visit the fambly anyway, perhaps I'll get down there sometime this month...I must have a squishee...I'll save my $20 and not ask for the all-syrup one though.

I'mma get a Squishee and will COME AGAIN! Local Simpsons Trivia: the live-action "3-D" world that Homer Simpson landed in a Halloween episode years ago was a strip of storefronts along Ventura Blvd at Ventura Canyon Ave. in Sherman Oaks. Yes, a lot of geek research went into that.
