I would go to Yelp for this info (usually the store hours). The site looks good but just throwing that out there, I don't think you have any info that Yelp doesn't.

Hi Chuinard, we have made the Localmint website and apps as simple and clean as possible. We see having less info than Yelp as a positive. Thanks for commenting!
Less information doesn't necessarily correlate with simplicity. Now that you've got a clean product, figure out a way to segment the market so that there's more reason to use localmint. Maybe adding more information (in a clean way) is the answer.

As I see it, to use your site there's still the extra steps of

    1. Having to remember the "localmint.com" name and
    2. Having to type it in the browser every time I need to look up store hours.
When I open a new tab I'm already at a Google search engine. Why not just use it instead? You'll need to build a compelling enough reason to visit localmint, because right now it's not the easiest solution.
