Two calls to the 2100 88th Street store were placed at approximately 1:45 p.m., saying that bombs were placed inside and "figure out how to disarm them," North Bergen Police Capt. Jorge Raposo tells Daily Voice.

A sweep of the store turned up negative for explosive or suspicious devices at 2:55 p.m., Raposo said. At 3:40 p.m., NBPD Capt. David Dowd said the threat was deemed a hoax and the store was expected to reopen at 4:15 p.m.
