==Biography==
Apu is the owner of Springfield's main convenience store, the Kwik-E-Mart, which is open 24/7. He attracts plenty of customers despite its rather lacking standards of quality (like Homer, Bart, and Snake Jailbird, who only comes in to rob the place). Renowned as a workaholic, he is eventually partnered off with an arranged marriage and ends up the father of octuplets.
