Simpsons' Kwik-e-mart becomes a reality

The Simpsons' fictional convenience store Kwik-E-Mart has become a reality thanks to a publicity stunt by 7-Eleven bosses in America.

To mark the release of The Simpsons Movie in the US later this month, a dozen 7-Eleven stores have been turned into Kwik-E-Marts for the remainder of July.

The more-than-6,000 7-Elevens across America which have not been turned into Kwik-E-Marts will still sell Simpsons-related food and drink, including Buzz Cola and KrustyO's cereal, which have previously only been seen on the long-running animated TV show.

The Simpsons Movie is released in the US on July 27.
