Kwik-e-mart in Times Square. Hey Simpsons Fans check it out.

There's a Kwik-E-Mart in Times Square, on 42nd Street, between 8th and 9th avenue.

I walked by the store and it didn't hit me right away. My first reaction was "oh 7-11 couldn't make it in manhattan... it's been replaced by a... kwik--- oh wait! Simpsons!"

The Kwik-E-Mart on 42nd Street has Squishies, Buzz Cola, boxes and boxes of Krusty O's, and Radioactive Man!



In addition to New York, the Associated Press reports 7-Eleven Kwik-E-Marts are in Chicago; Dallas; Denver; Burbank, Calif.; Los Angeles; Henderson, Nev.; Orlando, Fla.; Mountain View, Calif.; Seattle; and Bladensburg, Md. It's all designed to hype the July 27th opening of The Simpsons Movie.
