A Strip District diner known as a favorite of President Barack Obama’s was robbed early Sunday morning prior to opening, according to Trib news partner WPXI-TV.
Three armed men entered P&G’s Pamela’s Diner, 60 21st St., Pittsburgh, around 5 a.m. Sunday, tied up an employee and robbed the restaurant, fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police.
Police said the employee did not suffer major injuries.
Police are still looking for the suspects.
Obama first visited the Strip District location while campaigning in 2008 and subsequently invited owners Pam Cohen and Gail Klinginsmith to the White House, according to the restaurant’s website.
