ALPHA MINI MART in College Area, San Diego, operates a multi-service storefront at 4712 El Cajon Blvd, Suite J, in the 92115 ZIP, on the stretch of El Cajon Boulevard between Fairmount Avenue and Euclid Avenue near SDSU. The family-run business has operated from this address for over 30 years under the Nguyen family, combining a convenience store with international shipping services focused on remittances and package forwarding to Vietnam. The shipping counter processes money transfers and parcel shipments at per-transaction fees and accepts Zelle payments alongside cash — a service model distinct from the franchise packaging operations at PostNet in San Carlos, which handles domestic and multi-carrier commercial shipping. Beyond remittances, the store offers key-cutting for residential and non-chip automotive keys, operates an in-store ATM, and serves as a fee-free AT&T bill payment center and SDG&E identity-verification point. A barber station inside the store provides haircuts alongside the retail counter. The convenience section stocks snacks, beverages, lottery tickets, and laundry supplies, serving the adjacent laundromat's customer base. Language assistance is available in English and Vietnamese, and the store's location on El Cajon Blvd places it within the commercial block where Scrimshaw Coffee and other independent storefronts serve the College Area's Vietnamese-American and international student population. Free parking is available in the lot, with additional street parking along El Cajon Blvd.
