7-Eleven KWIK-E-MART
July 5th, 2007 by timbotron
A brilliant ad campaign for the upcoming “The Simpsons Movie” (July 27th) – for one month, twelve 7-Eleven stores have been converted into Kwik-E-Marts. I went to the Mountain View location (which is walking distance from Google Headquarters) – the store is completely outfitted with KrustyO’s*, Buzz Cola, Squishees, Homer Simpson pink doughnuts, and immigrant employees. [click photos to enlarge]
*KrustyO’s are produced and distributed by Momco, a likely Futurama reference.

I too got a chance to visit one of the 12 7-Eleven Kwik-E-Marts, here in New York City (42nd Street at 9th Ave). Here’s my photo proof:

Oh Man . . . the employee at 42nd street could pass as Apu (perhaps longer bangs).

Tim, I have a few pictures you might enjoy from the Burbank KEM. I don’t know how to get them to you, though.

I just opened my box of Krusty-O’s, and was disappointed to find that they are basically just Fruit Loops. In fact, there was no discernible difference between the O’s and the Loops.
