Dandy Mini Marts Inc.

Dandy Mini Marts is a chain of large-scale convenience stores that feature an expansive selection of foodservice offerings. The Dandy Cafe & Deli offers pizzas by the slice and whole, hot and cold sub sandwiches, burgers, chicken, pasta and breakfast options. The chain also promotes its large cold-beverage selection and hot beverages such as coffee, cappuccino and hot cocoa.

The average store size is 2,000 to 2,800 square feet, and the Dandy Cafe & Deli offers a long ordering counter broken into stations such as pizzas, subs, wok and sides. A few locations feature the “Dandy Order Station,” where guests can order hot foods from the deli at a touchscreen kiosk. Store decor features light green or blue tiled floors, blue or orange walls, green top-opening cooling cases and large hanging signage in bold colors directing customers to various sections. Some units have a dining area, and Wi-Fi is available at some stores.
