Mini sitelinks in local-pack?
-
Recently after performing a search I noticed one result in the "7-pack" included several sitelink-type links. It stood out among the others to me, and I was curious if this was schema or perhaps Google playing around with their local results? I'll include a screenshot for an example, any insights or links to articles discussing topic this would be appreciated.
Thanks Moz!

Nice find--I haven't seen that before. My opinion is that this is just more evidence that someday, there will be no difference between local and organic search.

They exist for Google maps local and so it might be connected now: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/richsnippetslocal/
People have seen it as early as May/June of this year: http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/google-local-important/6642-more-google-local-changes-location-links-rich.html

Thanks for your responses.
After digging around some more, I'm leaning towards this being related strongly to sitelinks and Google's discretion about where to display that snippet in the 7-pack. I tested this in Google's Structured Data Tool, and the site in question showed no authorship nor any structured data to display. Now I'm wondering if there's any connection between the position of the listing in the local-pack and G's tendencies to display these mini sitelinks.
