![]() When Jasper thawed, thus ending the viability of the project, Apu decided to institute a clothing optional policy, briefly rechristening the store as the "Nude-E-Mart". When retiree Jasper Beardsley decided to freeze himself in the store's freezers as a low budget form of cryopreservation for an indefinite future, Apu transformed the store into the "Freak-E-Mart", of which Jasper, marketed as "Frostillicus", was the main attraction. The Kwik-E-Mart has not been immune to the concept of showmanship as a marketing technique. However, a later episode showed gas pumps at the Kwik-E-Mart. The store itself also appeared to be destroyed: the "K" in the store's name landed on the fort grounds moments later. However, a round of redirected mortar shells from Fort Springfield promptly ruined his hard work. Īpu once installed sixteen gas pumps in the parking lot on the Kwik-E-Mart to compete with a rival store, the Gas'N'Gulp. During the shift he experienced a hallucination in which he thought he was a hummingbird and tried to drink nectar out of his brother Sanjay's head. Apu has been suggested as the owner of his own Kwik-E-Mart.Īpu is hailed as a legend in the realm of Kwik-E-Mart employment for once working a shift for over ninety-six hours. Apu has also stated that the parent corporation of his store is "Nordine Defence Dynamics," when he is commenting on the prosecution of Marge for shoplifting. Apu was shot during the attempted robbery. Apu was re-hired a short time later, after he foiled a robbery attempt at the Kwik-E-Mart and saved James Woods' life. History Īpu was fired from his job by Kwik-E-Mart HQ after Homer Simpson contracted food poisoning from the Kwik-E-Mart's spoiled meat and failing to "blame on a scapegoat or sacrificial lamb." Apu was replaced by actor James Woods who was studying to be a convenience store clerk for a role in an upcoming movie. It is also so notorious for its daily robberies by Snake Jailbird. The Kwik-E-Mart has also been known to sell faulty, dirty and expired merchandise, though legal to sell items that have been damaged or close to expiration, it is illegal to sell it if it has already expired, especially if you don't tell the customer it is as such, like Apu. ![]() (To which Homer whispered shouts of "$5.99?! Someone should shoot you!") Once, Apu sold Bart an overpriced bouquet of flowers, that was actually being saved for another customer. Instead, Apu directed Homer to the cheapest item in the store: a 2 oz bag of Chippos potato chips at $5.99. Once during a holdup, Apu refused to give Homer change to call the police from a payphone. It sells the standard convenience store fare at extraordinarily high prices, such as milk for $12, "surprisingly expensive penny candy" or Valentine's Day chocolates for $100 and including the always popular tasty frozen soft drink Squishee. The Kwik-E-Mart isn't all that convenient of a store with Apu gouging the customers for all they've got.
