Daniel Manzo, 20, and Jose Munoz Trujillo, 37, were arrested in connection with the Oct. 8 robbery of Adams Market on South Cedar Avenue in Fresno.
The men, who entered the store wearing black clothing, took cash and liquor before fleeing on a motorcycle, authorities said.
Surveillance footage showed one suspect pointing a handgun with an extended magazine at the clerk.
Witnesses described the suspects as wearing a motorcycle helmet and a fur-lined Ushanka-style hat, according to authorities.
After identifying Manzo and Munoz Trujillo as suspects, deputies served a search warrant on Oct. 18 at a residence on North Hughes Avenue, where they took Manzo into custody.
Munoz Trujillo was later apprehended in Exeter and faces charges of robbery, possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of stolen property.
