212 Mart is a brand of Indonesian sharia-oriented convenience stores formed by the 212 Sharia Cooperative and inspired by the 212 Movement.[1] According to its official website, the group was founded on January 6, 2017 by influential Islamic figures in Indonesia such as current Indonesian vice president Ma'ruf Amin, preacher Bachtiar Nasir, and Didin Hafhiduddin. It is registered on the Ministry of Cooperative and Small & Medium Enterprises.[2]

212 Mart opened its first booth in Bogor, West Java. It later expanded to most of Indonesia and as of 2018 had more than 120 booths across the nation.[3][4] The group's business principle consists of empowering small to medium enterprises owned by ordinary Indonesians and adhering to Sharia. As such, the group aims not to sell tobacco, condoms, or other haram products.[5] During adhan prayers, 212 Mart closes their booths for 15 minutes.[6] As of 2020, some 212 Mart branches have permanently closed.[7]
