There was one one the corner near my house number 1 on the map but it suddenly closed up one day. Three months later (last week) the "All American Store" opened up, with a giant American Flag painted across the facade.
I haven't been in yet. It looks like it's still a kwikymart but they took out the gas pumps. I can only get a Slurpee on the way to work at number two on the map now. Three is in the wrong direction...

Then there's the all-night resource of the college student.
I'm about 2 blocks from #3 there.

I would assume they start giving them away at 4-6AM. There are too many hoodlums that hang out at the Stony Point, NY 7-11.
I was one of the hoodlums at one in Tempe AZ. One night it blew up from a gas explosion, luckily no hoodlums were there and the employee was only slightly injured. Us hoodlums had no place to hang for a while until it reopened, but now it's an insurance sales office or something like that.

Hmmm. I spend enough time taking bio breaks.
Think I'm going to save myself for Rite Aid Pharmacy's 50th celebration. Free Percocets.

I think it's an intersection in Seattle that has one at all four corners.
There's a large section of downtown where it is basically possible to always hit an espresso stand of some sort with a well-thrown baseball, and even my humble neighborhood has a Tullys, Starbucks and SBC clustered on an intersection within baseball range, but I can't think of a Seattle intersection that has 2, 3, or 4 Starbucks in corner positions. I will investigate.
Two Starbucks do occupy diagonally opposed corners on what I take to be the busiest intersection on Robson Street in Vancouver, BC, FWIW

It seems whenever I go to get a slurpee before 10am they aren't frozen yet. Hopefully I can get one on my way into school... in 6 hours...:)

Nothing beats the 7-11 on the way back from the beach in San Clemente. All of their flavors are always mixed and they have the best ones: cherry, pina colada, blue rasberry.... Mmmmmm

Got my free drink last night. I probably should have just paid the 75 cents to get the regular, but a free supersmall was good enough.
You know what I found funny? Some stupid 16 year old girl was in there with her friend. Her friend bought a regular, and she bought a small! What a moron!
Then again, there were absolutely no ads for the promotion anywhere on the store we went to. NOthing at all except for the cups themselves. We went at 10PM and there were still about 150 cups left. I don't think everybody got the message. Was this the case at any of your stores?
