I visited the Chicago one which was four blocks from my Aunt-in-law's house, and yes: the magnificence of it could not be overstated. And I still have the three plastic Squishee cups from that promo and will not be giving them up anytime.
Sidebar: I asked the clerks what the likelihood was that I could come back the day of to try to pick up any of the signage. They said everything was inventoried to be returned, and if they couldn't find it, someone was going to get fired. They didn't even get to keep the Kwik-E-Mart smocks, which I felt was borderline criminal.
