mini-marts
Small convenience stores
Mini-marts are small retail stores that stock a limited selection of everyday items like snacks, beverages, toiletries, and basic groceries.
They typically operate longer hours than supermarkets and are often attached to gas stations or located in neighborhoods for quick convenience shopping.
The appeal is speed rather than selection—you grab what you need without navigating sprawling aisles.
I stopped at the mini-mart for cigarettes and a energy drink.
