The 7-Eleven at 2840 Eastway Drive was robbed at gunpoint at about 5:20 p.m.
About 40 minutes later, the Circle K at 4718 North Graham St. was robbed.
No injuries were reported.
The two robberies are believed to be connected, but are also unrelated to a string of robberies reported in the last two weeks.
