GTA Vice City - Side Objective GuideStore Robberies
Map, screenshot and text locations of all 15 stores to rob in GTA Vice City.
A new gameplay element introduced in GTA Vice City is the ability to hold-up stores for money. There are 15 stores which can be robbed, and a few others which can't. The money you'll earn isn't particularly useful, but if you're going for 100% completion then you'll need to cross off all 15 stores.
Robbing Stores
You'll need a weapon to rob a store. Any pistol works well. Simply walk into the store then target the shop keeper and hold the gun on him as he dishes out cash. The longer you hold him up, the more cash he'll give you, but the more your wanted level will increase too.
You can kill the shop keeper after the first wad of cash which usually prevents him triggering an alarm and will leave you with a 1-star wanted level, or you can continue holding him up until he's dropped all 3 lots of cash which will usually result in a 2 or 3 star wanted level.
For the purposes of checking off each of the stores, as soon as he's dispensed the first lot of cash, you can escape, usually with a one-star wanted level. Remember to leave a getaway vehicle outside and plan a route to the Pay 'n' Spray or to the nearest police bribe collectables.
Store Robbery Rewards
Besides the cash which you can collect, and the 0.65% increment towards 100% completion, there aren't any actual rewards for robbing stores in GTA Vice City. The percentage is only increased when all 15 stores have been successfully robbed.

East Island Store Robberies
There are 8 stores which you can hold up on the East Island at the start of the game.
Store #1 - Bunch Of Tools
Found in Washington Beach
Head to the hammer icon on the map and you'll find the tool store, just West from the Police station.
Store #2 - Vice Point Jewellers
Found in Vice Point
Just North of the pizza restaurant, there's a jewellery store with a glass window which you can enter and rob. There's a hidden package in here too if you haven't already gotten it.
Store #3 - Vice Point Dispensary
Found in Vice Point
Slightly South-West from the mall on the West side of a strip of shops is a dispensary with a green sign.
Store #4 - Vice Point Supermarket
Found in Vice Point
Directly East of the previous store, or directly South of the mall, you'll see a supermarket with glass windows at the top of a short staircase.
Store #5 - GASH
Found in Vice Point (Inside The Mall)
Inside the mall, you'll find the GASH store at the south end. Head inside on the ground floor and hold up the shop keeper in the corner.
Store #6 - Tooled Up
Found in Vice Point (Inside The Mall)
On the South-West of the ground floor inside the mall, right next to Ammu-Nation. Don't rob Ammu-Nation as it doesn't count and the guy behind the counter won't take too kindly to you brandishing a gun.
Store #7 - Vinyl Countdown
Found in Vice Point (Inside The Mall)
In the center of the mall, head up to the first floor and go to the West where you'll find the Vinyl Countdown record store.
Store #8 - Family Jewels
Found in Vice Point (Inside The Mall)
On the ground floor at the North-East end of the mall, you'll see a jewellery store with glass windows.
Mainland (West Island) Store Robberies
There are 7 stores to rob on the Mainland. They're not officially accessible at the start of the game as all bridges between the East and West islands are blocked off until the central point of the story.
Store #9 - Downtown Jewellers
Found in Downtown
Slightly to the North, up the street from the pizza restaurant is a fairly plain looking jewellery store with glass windows.
Store #10 - Downtown Dispensary
Found in Downtown
Directly in front of the pizza restaurant, slightly to the East, there's a dispensary with a green sign a few doors down.
Store #11 - Ryton Aide
Found in Little Haiti
Right next to the Pay 'n' Spray on the long road to the East of the island is a large pharmacy.
Store #12 - Brownstone's Laundromat
Found in Little Havana
On the Western side of Little Havana is a laundromat with a collectable change of clothes (Tracksuit). Head in here to hold up the owner. You can get in and out without changing clothes if you're careful, but grabbing the clothing after holding up the store is a good way to clear your wanted level.
Store #13 - Cafe Robina
Found in Little Havana
Despite the fact Tommy will work for Umberto Robina, holding up his cafe is one of the objectives. Head inside and point a gun at his employee.
Store #14 - Screw This
Found in Little Havana
Head to the hammer icon on the map. It's just West of the Police station.
Store #15 - Coffee Bagels Donuts
Found in Little Havana
Directly across the street from the Police station, under a large billboard for "Exploder", is a corner shop advertising coffee, bagels and donuts. Head inside and hold up the owner.
