The crime alert from University of Pittsburgh Police said city police responded to the robbery at 11:11 p.m. The store closes at 10 p.m. and reopens at 10 a.m. every day.

A suspect entered the store on Forbes Avenue and placed a gun to a worker’s head, demanding money. The suspect fled from the back of the building with an unknown amount of money.

The salad and burger restaurant was open Monday afternoon and a manager referred questions to the corporate office. A corporate representative did not respond in time for publication.
