Misceláneas (lit. meaning "place where miscellaneous items are sold", and otherwise called "tiendas de abarrotes" (grocery store) in some parts of the country) are smaller, family-run convenience stores, often found in central and southern Mexico. They operate in many locations, from rural communities to suburban residential neighborhoods, usually located in front of or below the family's residence. They often fulfil the role of neighborhood meeting points and places to disseminate community news. While offering a more limited, and sometimes varied, assortment of items than corporate chains, they fill a void in many areas in which corporate companies do not operate. Usually, they also sell home-made snacks, such as tortas and sandwiches, made by the owners themselves. They also provide items in smaller quantities than would be offered for sale in larger stores and markets, for example selling single cigarettes along with full packs. In Mongolia, convenience shops (CU (store), Circle K etc.) are already very common and continue to gain popularity, making the market increasingly saturated with retailers. In New Zealand, convenience shops are commonly referred to as dairies and superettes. Dairies in New Zealand are generally independently owned and operated. The use of the term "dairy" to describe convenience shops was common in New Zealand by the late 1930s. Dairies carved out a niche in food retail by keeping longer trading hours than groceries and supermarkets – dairies were exempt from labor laws restricting trading hours and Saturday trading. With the deregulation of trading hours and in the wake of legislation in 1989 prohibiting sales of alcohol by dairies, the distinction between dairies, superettes, and groceries has blurred. Convenience stores in Peru are typically independent corner stores called "bodegas", that include groceries, alcohol, services and phone booths. Other convenient stores are found at gas-stations in urban and connecting areas on highways; examples of these are Listo! (owned by Primax) and Repshop (Repsol). Recently, Tambo+, owned by Corporación Lindley S.A., has quickly become the biggest convenience store in the country with 300 stores opened in just two years. Mexican owned Oxxo has plans to expand to Peru. There is a local version of convenience store in the Philippines, called the sari-sari store which are located on almost every street, corner, residential area, and other public places around the country. Aside from the local convenience stores, other popular international convenience stores are present on almost every street especially in urban areas. 7-Eleven is the largest convenience store chain in the country.
