Bladensburg 7-Eleven becomes Kwik-E-Mart

Twentieth Century Fox has teamed with 7-Eleven to turn 11 hand-picked locations into full-blown, real-life Kwik-E-Mart’s, of the fictional Springfeld, Illinois convenience store. The Bladensburg Kwik-E-Mart not only looks like a Kwik-E-Mart, but it sells Simpson's themed products. That’s right, Buzz Cola, KrustyO’s cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees. Make sure to purchase a dozen pink-frosted donuts with sprinkles. They are quite tasty. The only problem I found is that I could not Duff beer anwhere. Throughout the store there are life-size Simpson characters. The Simpsons Movie is scheduled to be released July 27. 7-eleven spokespeople say they're not being paid anything by the makers of the film, but they are hoping to boost sales as a result of the transformation.
