Plot
A group of friends buy some land in the outskirts of Seattle, Washington and start up a convenience store to help people on their way in and out of the city.

Production
In the spring of 2009, RaGE Media intern Skylar Duke pitched a sitcom idea about a convenience store founded by a group of friends, and wrote out simple plot lines for multiple episodes, and three of them were selected to run as a test season (officially the first season) in the winter of that year.

The first season was animated by using the program Antics 2-D Animation with using Adobe After Effects as a post production program. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth season were produced with OpenToonz and Adobe After Effects. Season seven onwards used a combination of Toon Boom Harmony, Autodesk Maya, Flash/Animate, and Adobe After Effects.
