Beaver’s Mini Mart vs Goliath  

You’ve probably heard by now about the lawsuit Buc-ee’s filed against Beaver’s Mini Mart on Hanes Road in Beavercreek. Buc-ee’s claimed in the suit that Beaver’s Mini Mart’s Logo of a cartoon beaver would cause confusion for customers.

The nearest Buc-ee’s is 16 miles from the Beaver’s Mini Mart location in the middle of a city that has been using beaver iconography for decades via school mascots, team logos, business advertisements and more. The small convenience store has no gas pumps, no public bathrooms, and a logo that looks nothing similar.

Many want to help support this small business. Here are a few ways to do so:

  • Shop at their store – 1592 Hanes Road, Beavercreek, 45434
  • Support their GoFundMe
  • Buy Beaver Mini Mart shirts from CincyShirts.com
  • Buy Beaver Mini Mart Cookies from The Original Goodie Shop. Stop by their store at 2116 Tremont Center, Upper Arlington, 43221 or call 614-488-8777
  • Buy Beaver’s Mini Mart merch from Teepublic

Please note, there is a lot of misinformation going around about the ownership of the Beaver’s Mini Mart. We ask that you do your due dilligence and your own research before forming your opinion, or having a negative reaction to their plight.
