Not a park....Kwik E Mart!

A few of my friends and I decided it was time to head down to the local Kwik E Mart (By local I mean 2 hours away) and be the Simpsons dorks that we are.

Pics!:

PINKEST donuts ever:


Also the most expensive donuts ever:


Moes:

I did not end up buying anything besides a Squishee. Lots of Simpsons stuff, but they were all out of Buzz Cola. I was pretty sad to see that Fox decided to not make any Duff beer available.

Whomever came up with the idea of transforming 7-11's into Kwik E Mart hit the gold mine! The place was packed and more people kept arriving the longer we were there.

If you are a Simpsons fan and have one close by, go check it out!

Re: Not a park....Kwik E Mart!

Thanks for sharing the TR and pics, those places look so cool. I've got to stop buy and get some of the goodies. I've ridden past the one here in Orlando 2 times, but couldn't stop since I was meeting someone one time, and was caught in a monster rainstorm with no rainsuit the other time.

They definitely should have done Duff Beer. Can you get a Malibu Stacey or RadioActive Man Comics?

I saw neither. They had some random bobble heads and things like that, but nothing I have not seen before.

I agree with the Duff beer 100000%! I would have bought a case or two of that stuff if they made it.

Looks cool. I heard they didn't do Duff Beer because it would be like marketing alcohol to minors. Oddly enough Disney is releasing Ratatouille brand wine, but wine has a better association with it then beer.

Re: Not a park....Kwik E Mart!

I thought the Duff beer was Budweiser?

I tried to see the location in Burbank, but the place is on its on little triangle block at a 5 street intersection with only like 5 parking spaces. Haha. I guess street parking is fine, but oh my, the way this area was designed!! And there was still a light crowd, but I had to get to work. Next time...

Re: Not a park....Kwik E Mart!

I'd love 10 of those donuts right now (mmmm...donuts) They wouldn't sell Duff because they thought that it would encourage underage drinking. ;p

I'd seen pics of the Burbank location before.

Kudo's to 7-11 for jumping on this. To bad more stores didn't get the full Quickie Mart makeover.

Re: Not a park....Kwik E Mart!

I drove past the one in NYC, but the parking would have been a problem. The regular 7-11 near me had most of the same decor. I bought a squishee!
