7-11s around the nation turn into Kwik E Marts

GuidoHunter · 07-2-2007, 03:21 PM

In order to promote the Simpsons movie, the gas stations are getting huge renovations and selling new products.

Squishies, Krusty-Os, Buzz Cola (sadly, no Duff beer), and Radioactive Man comics are available.

There are only about a dozen of these around the nation, and the one in Dallas was the only one that currently has the full renovation finished. The manager wears an Apu nametag and never forgets to terminate a sale with "Thank you, come again."

Signs included:
"Freshness guaranteed or your money is begrudginly refunded."
"Today's food at tomorrow's prices!"
"5 minute parking. Violators will be executed."

Some pics:

What are you talking about? This is a genius move by them. You should have seen all the people inside, buying stuff.

Mad props to 7-11 for this move.

Haha, smart move. They're probably raking in a lot of money off of this.

AriesMalvis · 07-2-2007, 05:03 PM

well i think it's an awesome marketing idea
for both the movie and the 7-11s

3 for the price of 3...what a great sale
sounds like something id say tho

madmatt621 · 07-2-2007, 05:23 PM

Only 7-11's are changing? They should make all of the the gas stations (Valero, Exxon, etc) change. Then it'll be confusing.

**PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR** · 07-2-2007, 05:27 PM

This is pretty funny. Is there a list of locations where this has been done? I'd really like to go have a look at some of the stuff.

MCRenaissance · 07-2-2007, 05:31 PM

There's never going to be one in Utah, I bet. >_>

7-11 Inc. is the one that's bearing the several million dollar cost. You think that the gas stations are interested in being in on the deal? It wouldn't even make much sense in the Simpsons universe like the 7-11 idea does.
