Increasingly, grocery banks (i.e. banks inside of supermarkets) have increasingly become the target of robbers. Police believe grocery bank robbers like to blend in the crowded environment of the store, which typically has multiple exits. That contrasts the quiet, formal environment of a standalone bank, which usually has one entrance.
