AFA Action Alert!

The Pantry convenience store chain - America's premiere smut magazine dealer

The American Family Association is asking you to take a visible stand against the eleventh largest convenience store chain in America. Tell The Pantry, Inc. to dump its pornographic magazine policy.

After Circle K Stores discontinued the sale of Playboy and Penthouse publications in March 2002, The Pantry, Inc. became the largest convenience store chain in the United States to sell pornographic magazines.

"While other top 20 chains in America have said no to pornography, Playboy and Penthouse are mainstays at Pantry-owned stores," said Randy Sharp, director of special projects for American Family Association. "Every day on the nightly news, we hear of another child who has fallen victim to someone who is heavily involved in pornography. Those who commit these heinous crimes got their porn for somewhere. I don't think it's difficult to connect the dots."

The Pantry, Inc. sells pornographic magazines in approximately 1,300 convenience stores they operate in the southeastern United States. The campaign to convince The Pantry to stop the sale of pornography is being led by Florida Family Association.


FFA President David Caton says the war is being won. Through his efforts, several major oil companies have been successfully influenced to add language to their marketer agreements to prohibit the sale of pornography by independent retailers that sell their gasoline.

The Pantry operates under these names:

Big K Handy-Way
Quick StopDepot
Kangaroo Smokers Express
ETNA Lil' Champ
Sprint Market Express
Express Stop The Pantry
MiniMart Fast Lane
Wicker Mart Food Chief
On The Way Zip Mart


ACTION NEEDED

AFA strongly encourages you to take time and contact The Pantry, Inc. to discontinue the sale of Playboy and Penthouse Publications.
