Kwik-E-Mart Now Open in NYC!

Kwikemart42ndstreet_2

Well it's about time! How long have we had to contend with sub-par convenience stores named with meaningless combinations of numbers? Apu Now we have one named with real, honest-to-goodness words! Springfield's legendary Kwik-E-Mart (a subsidiary of Nordyne Defense Dynamics) has finally opened its doors here in New York City, and right on 42nd street to the delight of out city's famous slack-jawed-tourists. They wasted no time in snapping photos of every item, and cleaned the store out of it first shipment of nutritious Frosted KrustyO's™ breakfast cereal in record time. The company's other exclusive brands like caffeine-packed Buzz Cola™ and tasty Squishee™ frozen drinks were still available in abundance and, of course, there were plenty of donuts.
Although charismatic Kwik-E-Mart CEO Apu Nahasapeemapetilon was unable to say "Thank you, come again!" to customers in person, he sent a giant plastic facsimile of himself as well as several other Springfield residents all of whom appear to have strangely bright yellow skin. Perhaps it's an effect from the nearby nuclear power plant.
For authenticity's sake, the staff even decorated the store with local Springfield advertisements. We understand that this may only be a temporary trial run for the company, but judging by the success we saw, there should be a Kwik-E-Mart on every corner in the city in no time!
