Customers we spoke with told Channel 2 Action News they usually feel safe at that location, but the crime has them on alert.

“When you come to the store or even when you go to the gas station you gotta be aware of your surroundings,” Robinson said.

“Always paying attention, making sure your head’s on a swivel and make sure you park somewhere where there’s lights, especially in the evening,” shopper Melodie Lawrence said.

No customers or employees were injured during the robbery.
