Kwik-E-Mart
As a promotion for the new Simpsons Movie, 7-11 has gone a step beyond the usual themed-Slurpees and turned 12 of their stores into full-fledged Kwik-E-Marts. I had planned on playing intreped reporter on the 4th and heading down to the Chicago location at 6754 W. 63rd Street and taking a bunch of pictures and so on. Instead, Erica and I celebrated our nation’s independence by playing on the Wii all day. Fortunately, Brad Flora of the Chicago Methods Reporter is able to get off the couch and has filed a frightfully extensive report.
Vicky and I went to the 7-11 on Western and Pratt, and they may not have been decked out but they had Squishie machine. It’s funny how their cups say Squishie! Kwik-E-Mart! but then 7-11 freaked out and put their logo and the Slurpee logo kind of over it like you might accidentally think you’re not at a 7-11.
