The Buzz: Kwik Trip adds, Express sells

Kwik Trip(Photo: Maureen Wallenfang/Post-Crescent Media)

Kwik Trip will purchase two Express Convenience Centers in Appleton on Dec. 18, changing both into Kwik Trip branches. The locations are on Richmond Street at the corner of Franklin Street, and on Wisconsin Avenue at the corner of Meade Street.

Kwik Trip also signed a purchase agreement for the vacant northeast corner of Casaloma and Greenville drives in Grand Chute where it will build another store from scratch.

U.S. Venture, which owns the Express brand, sent a separate statement detailing its plans to step away from owning and operating retail convenience stores as it focuses on growing its fuel distribution side.

"In the coming months, U.S. Venture's 10 remaining company-owned Express locations in the Fox Valley and Green Bay areas will change over to new ownership. Most stores will continue to operate under the Express Convenience Center brand," it said in the statement.

About 34 Express locations will continue to operate while Express switches from a franchise to license operating model.

When Kwik Trip's deal for the two Appleton Express stations is finalized, however, those stations will close for renovation and expansion, a process that will take several months, and later reopen as Kwik Trips.

As previously announced, Kwik Trip also purchased the southeast corner of Appleton and Midway roads in Menasha to build a convenience store and gas station. It has two new stations opening in Kaukauna.

With about a dozen new or acquired Fox Cities sites over the last few years, Kwik Trip has invested millions of dollars in local development. The average cost of building or renovating each branch is between $4 million and $6 million, with $2 million to $2.5 million of that in equipment costs, said Hans Zietlow, director of real estate for the La Crosse-based company.

"We're investing money in a market we see going in the right direction," he said of the company's expansion in the Fox Cities. "We're investing where we see continued growth. When I compare this market to the rest of the state, I see it as a good place to invest for the future. The whole Fox Valley is in a much better economic position than much of the rest of the state or neighboring states."

'Walking Dead' Lurches To Top Of Twitter TV Ratings In Finale

SPOILER ALERT: This story includes a reference to aWalking Dead plot spoiler, and links to stories with more detailed spoilers.

The Walking Deadmay be stomping on the NFL on Sunday night viewer ratings, but even with what showrunner Scott Gimple called a devastatingmidseason finale last night, it couldnt get past the leagues marquee matchups when it comes to audiences, Nielsen said.

Walking Deadtopped all TV series and specials for the week, with nearly 5.2 million people seeing 773,000 tweets about the finale, which featured the demise of yet another major character and many other gotcha moments custom-made for social sharing.

Reality competitionsDancing With The StarsandThe Voice each put two shows in the top six, with only theSoul Train Awardsto break up the singing and dancing with, well, more singing and dancing.

The weeks other newcomers to the list included an unlikely Christmas special built around a fat feline-turned-Internet meme and the MTV teen drama .Awkward. (complete with odd punctuation). It is worth noting that Grumpy Cat officially has made more of itself thanks to a heaping helping of support from sponsor Purina than anyone might have thought possible, never mind worth watching or tweeting about.

Nielsen measures its Twitter TV ratings based on the unduplicated number of Twitter users who saw at least one post about a broadcast while it is airing or in the three hours before and after that first broadcast.

On the sports side, the NFL had two big matchups in prime showcase slots, and both delivered lots of Twitter love. Tops was the Thanksgiving tilt between longtime rivals and co-division leaders Philadelphia and Dallas, which drew 7.3 million Twitter audience members from 915,000 tweets, both far exceeding the hordes of Walking Dead tweeters.

The leagues second big matchup, Sunday night between perhaps its two best teams, New England and Green Bay, was only a bit behind, and still well ahead of The Walking Dead, which was on at the same time for at least part of the game on the East Coast.

More surprising was the presence of at least one of the two college football games to make it in the Sports Top 10: the traditional rivalry between Ohio State and the University of Michigan. OSU is trying to make the inaugural championship playoff final four; Michigan was playing out the string before it fires its Dead Man Walking head coach.

The other college game to get a lot of Twitter notice was not, for once, one featuring defending champion Florida State. Rather it was a key rematch between in-state rivals Alabama (ranked No. 1) and Auburn (No. 15). Last year, that game was decided by a 109-yard return of a missed field goal attempt on the final play, sending Auburn and its fans into joyful hysterics and the SEC (and eventually national) championship game.

This year, Alabama already was guaranteed a spot in the SEC championship before kickoff, but the game turned into a track meet, with more points 99 and total yards of offense 1,169 than any previous game in the rivalry, which started in 1892. That provided plenty of things to tweet about for fans who could catch their breath long enough to post something.

As always, Nielsen provides plenty of caveats with its numbers. Here are the ones for this batch:

Nielsen Social captures relevant Tweets from three hours before through three hours after broadcast, local time. Unique Audience measures the audience of relevant Tweets ascribed to a program from when the Tweets are sent until the end of the broadcast day at 5am. Sports Events include those on Broadcast and National Cable Networks only across all day parts. For multicast events, networks are listed alphabetically and metrics reflect the highest Unique Audience across all airing networks.

Johnny Manziel's 'nap' in the endzone gives birth to new #Manzieling meme

Bills Browns second half

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel lays on the field after being pressured by Buffalo bill Kyle Williams during the second half at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014 (AP Photo/The Buffalo News, Harry Scull Jr.)

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- We're not sure what Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was thinking when he laid down motionless in the endzone for a moment (or two or three) Sunday after losing the ball and getting pummeled by the Bills.

Was he sleepy? Was he just taking it all in? Was he wondering what's the deal with those Bills fans in those silly Buffalo wing hats?

Whatever is was, it didn't take long for the birth of a new #Manzielingmeme that had nothing to do with flashing the money sign, floating on a swan or talking into a money phone.

Well done, Internet.

Beloved Mexican Comedian Roberto G�mez Bola�os, Known as 'Chespirito ...

Mexican actor and comedian Roberto Gmez Bolaos, best known as Chespirito, has died, Televisa said Friday. He was 85.

Bolaospassed away at his home in Cancn, Mexico, according to the Spanish-language network. He had lived in the coastal city, in the state of Quintana Roo, while battling health issues in recent years.

The cause of his death was not immediately announced.

On social media in May, the beloved comedian spoke about his physical status. He said that although his condition was fragile, he was tranquil and happy with his family, CNN Mxico reported.

In 2009, Bolaos health deteriorated after he underwent surgery and developed respiratory problems. It was then that he moved to Cancn, so that he would not have to use the oxygen tank he needed in Mexico City.

Bolanos was renowned for his signature character on the long-running TV series El Chavo del Ocho (The Boy From Number Eight) in which he played a youngster living in a neighborhood of the Mexican capital.

The first episode of the series, which brought the actor international recognition, aired in June 1971.

The story of Chespirito is the story of Mexican television, a CNN Mxico reporter said.

Bolaos other well-known roles included El Chapuln Colorado (The Red Grasshopper), El Chanfle and Chompiras.

After the comedians death was announced Friday, fans took to social media in droves to express their sadness.

I profoundly lament the death of Sir Roberto Gmez Bolaos, Chespirito. My condolences to his family, Mexican President Enrique Pea Nieto said on Twitter. Mexico has lost an icon whose work transcended generations and borders.

Another admirer tweeted thatBolaos was our Robin Williams and a national folk hero in his native country.

My parents, I, and now my daughter grew watching his show, Marco Mendoza said.

A funeral Mass for the actor will be held Sunday morning at Aztec Stadium in Mexico City, Univision reported. The soccer venue has a seating capacity of 104,000.

CNN en Espaol contributed to this report.

Correction: An earlier version of this reportstated that Chespirito was a role played byBolaos. It was the actorsnickname. The article has been updated to reflect the change.

Lamento profundamente el fallecimiento de Don Roberto Gmez Bolaos,"Chespirito". Mis condolencias a su familia.
