The incident happened a little after 9-p.m. The suspect, who was initially described as an Hispanic male, displayed a handgun to the employees and left heading east with an undetermined amount of cash.

The suspect was said to have had on a mask, a gray stocking cap, black sweater, blue jeans and white tennis shoes.
