A quantity of cigarettes and cash was taken.
Staff at two Midlands shops were threatened during robberies at the weekend.
Gardaí are appealing for witness to both incidents.
Three men entered a filling station in Irishtown, in Mullingar on Saturday evening at around 20 to 8, and threatened staff with weapons, including an apparent baseball bat.
Less than 30 minutes later three men entered a shop in the Ballinea area of Mullingar, where staff were also threatened.
