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-Marts, 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. Thats right, Buzz Cola, KrustyOs 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.
Location:4199 Kenilworth Avenue
Bladensburg, MD 20710
We thought if you really want to do something different, the idea of actually changing stores into Kwik-E-Marts was over the top but a natural, - Bobbi Merkel, FreshWorks, 7-Elevens advertising agency
