The Elk Store in Elk was robbed on Friday. One of the co-owners posted on social media about the self-described “holiday season bummer.” The general store and deli suffered a broken window and the theft of thousands of dollars of merchandise. The store’s antique counter cash drawer was broken. No money was stolen as only a “nominal amount of change” was in the drawer. The robbery is bookmarked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which deeply impacted the store and set its future into question.
