Exxon store robbed at knifepoint

July 28, 2004

NH Business Review Staff,

MERRIMACK – He shouldn’t have obeyed his thirst – and underage drinking might be the least of the laws he broke.

About 11:25 a.m. on Monday a young man described as being in his late teens held up the Exxon convenience store and gas station at 1 Continental Blvd., brandishing a knife and then making off with cash and a 20-pack of Budweiser bottles, police say.

The gas station clerk described the suspect as a white male, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9, having a slim build and sporting short hair and tattoos the length of his left arm, police said.

He was last seen running out of the store toward Continental Boulevard with the beer in tote.

Police are asking the public’s help in nabbing the robber.

The next evolution of workplace well-being

For a long time, workplace wellness was viewed through a fairly narrow lens: reminders to schedule an annual physical, a blood pressure screening, maybe a gym reimbursement. Those efforts still matter. But “wellness” has expanded, because the way we work and live has changed.
