Which Convenience Stores Grace Your Locale?

Here it is Royal Farms, 7-11, and WaWa. I usually go to Royal Farms because they have good coffee.

Hey, I know it's no "look at this youtube video of this random crappy band", but I try.

We used to have a Famima which was basically 7-11 with a tip jar.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Through the early 80's we had King Kwik's here and were treated to these ads:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fLL0EeTbs20&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fLL0EeTbs20&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

They even had their own 3.2 generic beer in a white can as I recall.

We have Speedways, UDF's (good ice cream) and Ameristop's now. They don't have wonderfully tacky ads like King Kwik though.

Just looked up their website. Too European-looking for my taste.
