Saints Row Has a Clerks Easter Egg

gamerant.com:

Part of the fun of playing open world games is exploring and hunting down all the Easter eggs. The recently released Saints Row is no exception, with its open world city of Santo Ileso hiding plenty of Easter eggs for fans to discover. One such Easter egg is a reference to the cult classic 1994 film Clerks by Kevin Smith, which is fitting since the third film in the comedy series is coming to theaters soon.

If Saints Row players travel to the northern section of the map, they will end up in an area called Monte Vista. Monte Vista features a variety of businesses for players to check out, including a tattoo parlor called Lemoneedle, a clothing store called Woodbush Country Club, and a weapon shop named Friendly Fire. There is also a section, just west of Lemoneedle, where players can build one of their criminal ventures.

Criminal ventures in Saints Row are illegal businesses that players set up to expand their criminal empire. After players build a criminal venture in this section, they will find that it's attached to a convenience store called Rapid Go Groceries, which has a shutter covering its windows. The shutter has a tarp over it that says «I ASSURE YOU, WE ARE OPEN!» which is the sign Dante puts on the Quick Stop Groceries in the Clerks movie.

What's unclear from our testing is if this Clerks reference always appears in this exact area on the map or if its inclusion is dependent on where one builds the laundromat criminal venture. Regardless, it's a fun Easter egg that's relatively easy to spot for Clerks fans.

Clerks fans can check out the Saints Row Easter egg while they wait for the new movie to hit theaters. Clerks 3 will premiere in theaters on
