ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

     On April 21, 2000, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, Uni
Marts, Inc., together with certain wholly owned affiliates (collectively, the
"Company") purchased the operating assets of a business operating a chain of
convenience stores and gasoline dispensing stations located in northeastern
Pennsylvania.  The assets were purchased from Orloski Service Station, Inc. and
its owners (collectively  "OSSI" or the "Sellers") for approximately $42.4
million in cash and assumption of debt.

       The summary of certain provisions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") set forth in this Item 2 does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Agreement, a copy of which is enclosed as an exhibit to this report.

     OSSI was the operator of 43 convenience stores and gasoline
Dispensing stations in northeastern Pennsylvania and headquartered in
WilkesBarre, Pennsylvania.  The assets purchased include 39 fee properties and
eight leased locations, one of which the Company intends to purchase within 30
days.  The properties include two sites for future development and two sites
operated by gasoline dealers.  Other assets acquired from OSSI include
inventories, furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, vehicles, prepaid
expenses, notes receivable and certain intangible assets.

     The Agreement contains the usual and customary representations,
warranties and covenants by the Company and OSSI.

    The purchase price for the OSSI assets was determined on the
basis of past operating results, merchandise and gasoline volumes,
projections of anticipated operating results, economies of scale
which might be realized as a result of the acquisition and
projections of anticipated sales and the purchasing leverage which
may result therefrom.  The purchase price was the result of arms
length negotiations between the Company and the Sellers.

    The acquisition will be recorded using the purchase method of
accounting effective as of April 21, 2000 with the purchase price
being allocated based upon the fair values of the individual OSSI
assets acquired.  The results of operations from the acquired
convenience stores and gasoline dispensing stations will be included
in the Company's operations commencing with April 21, 2000. Prior to
the purchase, no relationship existed between the Company and OSSI or
any of their directors or officers, or any associate of any such
director or officer.  The OSSI assets were used by OSSI in the
ordinary course of its convenience store and gasoline dispensing
station business and the Company intends to continue such use.

                                       -2-

     The funds utilized by the Company to acquire the OSSI assets and
to pay expenses associated with the acquisition were provided by four loans
from affiliates of Franchise Financing Corporation of America ("FFCA")
aggregating $39.7 million, the Company's assumption of a $2.3 million OSSI loan
and from the Company's cash.

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

     The four FFCA loans discussed in the preceding paragraph also
closed on April 21, 2000.  The loans consisted of the following:

     (1)  A floating-rate loan for $22,325,000 secured by mortgages on 27
          fee properties acquired from OSSI.
     (2)  A fixed-rate loan for $6,900,000 secured by mortgages on nine fee
          properties acquired from OSSI.
     (3)  A floating-rate loan for $9,375,000 secured by store equipment at
          27 former OSSI sites and 49 Uni-Mart sites.
     (4)  A fixed-rate loan for $1,100,000 secured by store equipment at nine
          former OSSI sites.

     The mortgages will be amortized over 20 years and the equipment
loans will be amortized over ten years.  Certain provisions of the FFCA loan
agreements require the Company's maintenance of minimum net worth of $20
million, a corporate fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 and a pooled-property
fixed charge coverage of 1.25 : 1.

ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

      Pursuant to Item 7(a) and 7(b) of Form 8-K, the Company is
