Franchise Summary

Description
A Dairy Mart "affiliate" franchise permits a franchise owner to operate a convenience store under the "Dairy Mart" brand name owned by Mac’s Convenience Stores LLC ("Mac's") or its affiliates, and to participate in certain vendor buying programs. Additionally, a franchise owner may offer gasoline for sale and provide related goods and services. Mac’s will determine whether or not the franchisee will offer gasoline for sale but the franchise owner can choose whether to sell branded gasoline or unbranded gasoline, subject to the availability of the brand in the area in which Franchisee will be located and subject to other restrictions of the supplier.
Company Background
Dairy Mart is a convenience store franchise that offers gas and food. Dairy mart has been around for over 50 years, but the company was acquired by Mac's Convenience Stores in 2013. Since then, they have become more than just another convenience store company; Dairy Mart has helped to bring about many changes to the industry. Today, there are over 100 franchises across Canada and their goal is to expand internationally as well. They offer branded gasoline through Shell or Esso (depending on your location) which includes oil change services, lube jobs or tire rotation with purchase of fuel (if needed). The idea behind Dairy Mart came from two brothers who had experience working at their father's dairy farm during World War
