New Jersey heist: Store owner speaks out
Store owner Pablo Rancier told ABC7 that he had opened the business 3 years ago and appeared optimistic that he would be able to survive despite the robbery: “I have to stay positive. I could sit around feeling sad and angry, but I’ve received many supportive messages, so I felt good. We’ll try to restock our inventory, clean everything up, get new display cases, and I’ll be back serving everyone who wants to come.”
