LEGO Other 71016 The Kwik-E-Mart

LEGO set 71016, “The Kwik-E-Mart”, represents the convenience store associated with the world of The Simpsons. Released in 2015 under the root theme Other, it contains 2179 pieces and 6 minifigures connected to the setting.

“The Kwik-E-Mart” adapts a recurring location from The Simpsons into a LEGO model: the store operated by Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. That places it outside the main standard LEGO theme families while keeping its identity tied to a recognizable television license.

The build focuses on the store building, with an identifiable exterior and an interior arranged to suggest a small retail space. Its 2179 pieces are used for the structure, shop areas and scene dressing. The 6 minifigures are Homer Simpson (CMF), Bart Simpson, Marge Simpson, Chief Wiggum, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Snake. This line-up brings together members of the Simpson family, the store owner, a police character and a figure suited to story conflict around the shop.

The set is aimed at builders who want a licensed display building, a setting for character-based play or a Simpsons collection piece. Within the Other theme, it is best understood as a specific fictional location rather than a generic shop. Its role is to provide a defined backdrop for scenes centered on the Kwik-E-Mart.
