A man got away with an undisclosed amount of cash after he robbed the store with a black hunting knife around 8:45 a.m. Thursday.

The employee at the store said a male wearing a white and black camouflage hooded sweatshirt and a red ski mask covering his nose and mouth demanded cash while wielding the knife.
