Minit Mart
Convenience Stores in Richmond, VA
After Fred's return from the Army in 1972, Minit Mart Foods was incorporated with 16 stores - a beautiful notable achievement, but one that was only beginning. He began to acquire single convenience stores and select sites on which to build new Minit Marts, and by 1988 Minit Mart had expanded its business to Tennessee when it acquired 19 Bread Box convenience stores there.

Minit Mart became one of the first convenience stores to add gas pumps in the 1970s, which became a large innovation among convenience stores across the United States. The convenience store chain expanded into Tennessee in the 1980s, and then later into 7 other states. Since then, Minit Mart has grown to 225 stores. Many locations offer Godfather's Pizza, O'Deli's, and many other branded fast food chains.
