Dandy Mini Mart

From pizza to deli sandwiches to fresh-cooked Chinese food, the Dandy Mini Mart stores are known for offering a wide variety of fresh foodservice, many under its private brand, Dandy. The stores also offer Dandy-brand coffee and water. Target customers are males ages 18 to 45. While all stores are laid out similarly, they vary in size, ranging from 1,500 to 3,200 square feet.
