Press Releases (Mountain View, CA) 7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret Chabris recently (and astutely) stated: "We've done research, and research shows us that our customers like... movies, so we're getting involved with some major studios on some of their properties this summer."
The Simpsons Movie, the convenience shoppe's exterior, signage, employee uniforms, and product lines have been overhauled to match the show's 7-Eleven-inspired Kwik-E-Mart.
Such shouts could mean but one thing: the "chosen" store was less than a mile around the corner from their home. The next half hour was spent documenting and purchasing such treasured gems as Buzz Cola, Radioactive Man comic books, and the illustrious sprinkled donut of Simpsons yore.
said Mr Laaker while strolling the aisles of the store (and being cautiously tracked by two store employees uneasy with his camera-documenting ways). "Not surprisingly then, I'm also into The Simpsons and 7-Eleven. Further, I'm into participating in big national marketing events when they're just blocks away."
