Kwik-E-Mart

A few minutes ago, I was catching up on some blogs I haven't had time to read much lately and read at post at Radhole about a Denver Kwik-E-Mart. He has some great photos posted.

Apparently 7-Eleven has remodeled eleven of their stores nationwide to publicize the upcoming July 27th opening of the new Simpson's movie. Here's a Denver Post story about the Denver Kwk-E-Mart that is at 3rd and Broadway. I do think it's a little lame that 7-Eleven wouldn't contract with vendors to get Duff beer:
But they won't find Duff beer, the brand chugged by Homer Simpson. The movie will be rated PG-13, and selling a Simpson-themed beer "didn't seem to fit," said Rita Bargerhuff, a 7-Eleven marketing executive. "That was a tough call, but we want to make sure it's considered good, responsible fun."

I pass by that location at least three times a week. I'll have to stop in.
