In the early 60s, it was known as "Big Top," and was a local chain of convenience stores, not unlike 7-11. There was another local chain called "Dee-Gee's," which had a store on North Federal. I'd love to see a photo of its great signage. Fantastic website, by the way! I grew up in Westminster and there was (and still is) one of these on 72nd Ave., just east of Federal.

They are all somewhat unique, no two seem exactly alike. Thanks I hadn’t mapped out that Leetsdale location, though I must have found about 15 of these buildings so far.
