Athens Sheriff Patrick Kelly says the man entered the Marathon station at the intersection of State Route 50 and State Route 329 carrying a gun.
 
Kelly says he came into the store around midnight and robbed the store attendant of an undisclosed amount of money and then left the store.
 
Kelly says the man was wearing dark clothes and a black ski mask.
 
Detectives are studying surveillance tapes and interviewing witnesses.
