AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO THE 8-K PREVIOUSLY FILED ON JUNE 24, 2002               

ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.                          

As previously announced, on June 17, 2002, the Audit Committee of the Board of  
Directors of Dairy Mart Convenience Stores Inc. (the "Company") decided to      
dismiss Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") as the Company's independent public          
accountants upon completion of the audit of the consolidated financial          
statements as of February 2, 2002. This audit was completed on July 1, 2002, and
AA was dismissed effective July 2, 2002 (the "Dismissal Date"). Effective June  
17, 2002, the Company engaged Grant Thornton LLP ("GT") to serve as the         
Company's independent public accountants for its fiscal year 2003, which ends on
February 1, 2003.                                                               

AA's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the 
two most recent fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting    
principles. The audit report did include a modification regarding the Company's 
ability to continue as a going concern after February 2, 2002.                  

During the two most recent fiscal years, and through the Dismissal Date, there  
were no disagreements with AA on any matter of accounting principle or practice,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not    
resolved to AA's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the  
subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated    
financial statements for such years. Additionally, there were no reportable     
events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.                       

The Company provided AA with a copy of the foregoing disclosures, but AA        
informed the issuer it was no longer providing any 8-K representation letters.  
Accordingly, no letter from AA is attached as an exhibit.                       

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of the Audit       
Committee's decision, the Company did not consult GT with respect to the        
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either         
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on   
the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or        
reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.                                      

(c) Exhibits                                                                    

No exhibit provided, because AA informed the issuer it was longer providing     
any 8-K representation letters.
