mini-mart
Small convenience store
A mini-mart is a small convenience store, typically attached to a gas station or located in a neighborhood for quick purchases.
Mini-marts stock everyday essentials—snacks, drinks, cigarettes, lottery tickets—at higher prices than supermarkets, trading on convenience rather than selection: I grabbed a coffee at the mini-mart on my way to work.
