You may have heard that there’s a Simpsons movie coming out soon. As part of the marketing scheme, they’re temporarily rebranding a dozen 7-Elevens as Kwik-E-Marts, 11 in the States and one in Canada. As an erstwhile convenience store resident, and moderate 7-Eleven delinquent during high school, Apu’s naturally one of my favourite characters. (Best Simpsons moment: Apu entrusts the Kwik-E-Mart to his pre-teen nephew Jamshed, who immediately whips out a shotgun longer than himself, freezing Jimbo and friends in their tracks.) The nearest to me is in Mountain View - seriously tempted to make the drive just to see if they stock Chutney Squishees. For friends in Vancouver, it’s not immediately obvious that the sole Canadian version happens to be in Coquitlam! Rather odd they picked such out of the way locations.
