This Friday, 21, the Mini Extra network opened its first store with snack bar.
Located on Avenida Consolação, in São Paulo (SP), the unit presents a new format of the flag store, which now offers solutions also for customers looking for quick meals to take away.

The menu of the space is focused on typical foods and drinks of breakfast or afternoon, such as cheese bread, sandwiches, juices and coffees, but also brings options such as pizza in pieces and dishes made signed by startup Cheftime with prices from R $ 9.90.
"The trend is that consumers seek more and more ease when making their meals, especially in large centers. And in this scenario, the markets stand out by offering complete and practical solutions, with fresh food, freshly prepared. In addition, we already noticed in mini extra stores a high demand for products used in the preparation of snacks, such as breads, cold cuts and cold drinks. It was a natural step to offer this service in the network units," says Frederic Garcia, director of GPA Proximity Formats.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the store adopted a series of measures to contain the spread of the new coronavirus already from its first day of operation. Measures include placing gel alcohol totems with foot-driven alcohol and installing acrylic protective panels on boxes and service counters.
