Dreams do come true

Fans of The Simpsons will no doubt be familiar with the Kwik-E-Mart, which is home of the iconic Squishee, but not home of Skittlebrau, the beer with candy in it Homer makes up. You might not be familiar with the fact that the hallowed place actually exists now, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnHF11NsVFw&frags=pl%2Cwn Yes, yes they will be selling Duff Beer, Buzz Cola, Squishees, Lard Lad Donuts, Flaming Moe's energy drinks and even heat lamp hotdogs, if you're into that sort of thing. Even better, the Kwik-E-Mart is situated right next to the Aztec Cinema, another iconic venue from Springfield, which will be hosting an immersive 4D movie experience after opening later this year. Let's be honest: they did a great job of making it look exactly like the show And here's a look at the Squishee set-up, just so you know they are serious. WOAH that's good Squishee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKRWV0yjqJ0&frags=pl%2Cwn The store is apparently a permanent fixture, and whilst Universal Studios Resorts in both Florida and California have Kwik-E-Mart storefronts, neither of them were fully functioning convenience stores, making this the only 'real' Kwik-E-Mart in the world. A result of over four years of planning, the store and cinema is hoping to bring an even greater influx of tourism to the seaside community, known for its warm climates, beaches and now, a cartoon supermarket! https://www.instagram.com/p/BmrwvbtFkmt/?taken-by=carolinabulletin Thank you come again.
