Unless you’ve been living in a cave or without your daily internets (heaven forbid!), you probably already know about the 7-11 stores across the US that have been temporarily converted to Kwik-E-Marts to promote the upcoming Simpsons movie. What you may not know is that we have one in the GVR, specifically in Coquitlam. This is particularly special when you consider that it is the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada, and one of only 12 in North America.
The store is full of Simpsons products like Buzz Cola and Squishies (Slurpee machines re-skinned), and apparently in the US stores you can even buy Duff Beer. To see some pictures of our local store, check out this Flickr set taken by some friends. If you want to brave the ridiculous lineups, the location is at 1198 Landsdowne Street in Coquitlam.
