Uni-Mart Car Magnet
Take Uni-Mart's regional retail story onto the road. This car magnet nods to a company that grew from Henry D. Sahakian's Pennsylvania convenience-store business into a familiar presence across Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. Its State College connection and long-running name make it a fitting display piece for fans of local business history, roadside stops, former chain stores, and everyday Americana.
Uni-Mart grew from Henry D. Sahakian's convenience-store business in Pennsylvania. Sahakian began the company in 1972 and opened the first Uni-Mart in State College in 1981, rebranding stores from a Ma-jik Market franchise he had owned since the early 1970s. The chain became a public company on the American Stock Exchange in December 1986. In September 1996, it opened the 10,000-square-foot Uni-Mart Center in State College, promoted as "America's Largest Convenience Store Under One Roof," with fuel, food, retail, mail, and banking tenants. Uni-Mart returned to private status in July 2004 following the creation of Green Valley Acquisition Co. LLC. By 2008, it operated 283 stores in Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. Its Ohio growth began with the 2006 acquisition of stations near Youngstown, followed by conversions in 2007. Uni-Marts LLC filed for voluntary Chapter 11 protection on May 29, 2008. Remaining assets were sold in December 2009 to Kwik Pik LLC, an affiliate of Lehigh Gas Corporation. Many stations still used the Uni-Mart name as of 2016.
