The robbery occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m.
One of the people, a black male weighing approximately 240 pounds and standing 5 feet, 10 inches tall, was described as carrying a black, semi-automatic handgun.
The person with him was described as a black male standing about the same height but lighter in weight.
The man pointed the gun and took the money. It was unclear what kind of threat was made. They fled from the store, police Chief Andy Jackson said.
A canine track by Officer Gerald Morris and his dog Dozer showed they apparently fled to the rear of the store between the White's car dealership and the store's car wash.
The man with the gun was described as wearing black pants, a black hooded jacket or sweatshirt and white sneakers.
The other man was wearing blue jeans, a black hooded jacket and black sneakers.
