I think it's definitely a reference to the one in FWWM, but not sure it's exactly the same.

The fact that it's called "convenience store" makes me think this is a mock-up town built for nuclear testing purposes only, and no real people really go there, but as it was the site of the explosion, the Woodsmen gathered around it. 

Good point! What kind of convenience store has CONVENIENCE STORE written on it, even in the 40s?

Yes, point.

Is it the same store the youngsters left in 1956?

i wondered that at first. on a closer look, it is similar but not the same design and has different doors and window placements

They seem different-and the "Hobo" store does have steps on the right side-could be a small apartment up in the back.....

Hmm, but those steps couldn't be leading to a room high enough to be said it's above the store....

Maybe not in our plane of existence............

Yeah...that's why it was in the episode.

im curious as to whether that's the same store from FWWM...I thought that store was actually in Twin Peaks.  

Im guessing that the dust men's first gathering place after their creation was a convenience store and maybe they've continued to meet in other convenience stores ever since.

Wait, Zack, it was never said that that store was in Twin Peaks.  Plus it was shown mixed in with Phillip Jeffries reappearance scene which was in Philly, and Jeffries who claimed he's seen that room came from Argentina.

I guess they never actually did say where the store was but I always assumed it was located in Twin Peaks.

Then again Coop never found the store and now you almost have to assume that the E08 store is THE convenience store they had always been talking about.  It just seems odd that they would have meetings in multiple convenience stores in different towns...like they had a penchant for them and were somehow able to find similar ones with rooms above them to meet in...lol.

How does Lynch think up the stuff anyway :

Evil spirits Bob and Mike lived above a convenience store.

FBI agent's evil twin brought back to life by hobos.

It only says New Mexico before the bomb exploded.  Then the camera goes into the explosion, and then we see the convenience store.  That way we assume it's still in New Mexico, because it doesn't say elsewhere.

Didn't Jeffries say he attended a meeting above a convenience store?

Yes. Did they come from the air ?
