Qwik-Mart
One of several early Birmingham convenience store chains (remember others like HANDY DANDY and U-TOTE-M?).  One location of QWIK-MART captured on film by Alvin Hudson was located on 12th Street W. about a block and a half north of Rickwood Field.

The name is dead, but the building presses on.  In 2005, it's known as Justin's Convenience Store.
