The first of six Minimax grocery stores to open in Austin, and 39 years later, it's the last. Instead of offering a personal warmth generally found on only the finest of cattle cars, or religious services somewhere on aisle 37, Minimax does things the old-fashioned way, offering simple courtesy and a neighborliness that's usually found only in small towns. All this and S&H green stamps, too! Currently they're remodeling, and though the structure and fixtures may change, it's a sure bet that the folks who make shopping the Minimax such a great experience won't.
