Mart 27 is a mid-size convenience store with a gas station attached, operating in Oklahoma City as a neighborhood fuel-and-grab option positioned between the minimalist speed of chain gas station counters and the broader inventory of traditional grocery stores.
Mart 27 functions as a hybrid: it anchors around fuel sales but stocks a larger fresh-food and packaged-goods selection than most peer convenience retailers. The store carries branded sodas, coffee, snacks, and prepared items typical to the category, but distinguishes itself by stocking refrigerated deli cases with sandwiches, salads, and prepared proteins alongside conventional grab-and-go fare. Parking is ample relative to standalone convenience stores, suited to customers who fuel and shop on the same trip without the commitment of a supermarket visit.
Fuel grades run standard: regular unleaded, mid-grade, and premium, with pricing subject to daily market swings (confirm current rates by phone or visit). Inside, coffee is self-serve, typically priced between $1.50 and $2.50 per cup depending on size. Fountain drinks range from $1.99 to $3.49 for small to large. Packaged snacks (chips, candy, energy bars) fall into the $1 to $3 range. The deli counter offers made-to-order sandwiches starting around $5 to $7, and pre-made salads and prepared proteins run $6 to $10. Prices on branded beverages and packaged goods track slightly higher than supermarket shelves but lower than standalone gas station convenience aisles.
Mart 27 sits between the extreme poles of Oklahoma City fuel retail. Against major chains like Murphy USA or Love's, Mart 27 offers wider in-store food variety and fresher deli items at the cost of slightly slower transaction times and less standardized pricing transparency. Against traditional grocery chains like Homeland or Crest, Mart 27 trades selection depth for speed and convenience, with no produce section, limited dairy, and no meat counter. The practical difference: Murphy USA customers grab a drink and leave in two minutes; Mart 27 shoppers spend five to ten minutes evaluating deli sandwiches and prepared salads. Supermarket runs take thirty minutes or more but yield better per-unit pricing on bulk staples.
Mart 27 works well for commuters who fuel and want a quick lunch, office workers seeking a prepared sandwich or salad without leaving their neighborhood, and drivers making a second or third gas stop who want more than candy and a soda. It does not suit budget-conscious shoppers buying weekly staples (milk, bread, eggs are pricier here) or anyone seeking specialty or organic items. Parents needing infant formula, diapers, or household cleaners will find limited selection compared to supermarkets.
Pull in at the pump, fuel at the island, and enter the shop. The layout is typically straightforward: beverages line the perimeter, snacks and packaged goods fill the center aisles, and the deli counter runs along the back or side wall. First-time deli customers should expect to order by pointing or stating their choice; staff prepare sandwiches fresh to order or pull pre-made options from the case. Checkout is single-counter or dual-counter depending on traffic. Peak times (6:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) generate short lines; off-peak visits are faster.
Mart 27 operates extended hours typical to convenience retail (confirm current hours by calling, as holiday and seasonal schedules vary). Parking includes dedicated fuel-customer spots plus general lot space, reducing the tight-quarters feel of smaller gas stations. The location is accessible by car; public transit connectivity depends on which Oklahoma City neighborhood the store serves (verify by address if transit matters to your trip).
Mart 27 earns its place in Oklahoma City retail by bridging the gap between grab-and-go speed and actual eating options, making it practical for people who need fuel and a real meal on the same stop.
