Overview
Four Stores is a simple heist with low pay. As the name suggests, the player will rob the cash registers inside four small businesses, whilst avoiding civilians and cameras. Inside each building (excluding the tech store), a reinforced door is present that can be opened with a keycard. Keycards are scattered throughout the map. Inside the room can be money, loose cash, or nothing of value. Once the player steals the minimum amount of cash from the registers, the van will arrive in 3-9 minutes, depending on difficulty and tactic.

Loot
7 Register

20 Cash

0-3 Money

Stealth
Completing this heist in stealth is notoriously much more difficult than other heists, particularly due to its high civilian count and low cover.
 * 1) Case the stores, noting any guard spawns.
 * 2) Optional: With the tier 1 Ghost skill Chameleon aced, locate and take keycards.
 * 3) Optional: Open electronic doors for additional cover.
 * 4) Enter one of the stores and put on your mask.
 * 5) Empty the register(s).
 * 6) Discreetly navigate to another store, emptying its register(s).
 * 7) Repeat until all seven registers have been secured.
 * 8) Wait for the driver to return. On difficulty, this takes 5 minutes.
 * 9) The driver will pull up in one of two locations—in front and behind the petrol station. Once the driver has fully pulled up, escape.

Loud
Same as stealth, without sneaking around. On difficulty, the driver takes 9 minutes to return.

Tips (Stealth)

 * Robbing the Petrol Station last gives a strategic advantage for stealth because the van parks near it.
 * It is highly recommended to use two keycards to open the back door of the Petrol Station before masking up. This allows an easier route to stealthily get from the three-store cluster to the gas station.
 * It is recommended to have the basic skill of Nimble to disable cameras to get time to rob the registers without camera suspicion, but be careful of civilians noticing.
 * Purchasing speed skills from ghost, paired with a detection of 3, makes the heist significantly easier.

Trivia

 * There used to be a bug where your driver would start driving even before you reached the cash target. All you had to do was empty all the cash registers.
 * This is now nonexistent, as the main objective is to get 7 cash registers located in the stores.
 * This used to be the only heist in the game to be free. Jewelry Shop is now the free heist.
 * Keycards spawn in the following 9 locations:
 * Near the van's spawning location.
 * In-between fuel pumps.
 * Near the grass slope/fence, right next the petrol station.
 * Behind the petrol station's counter.
 * On the ground/a table outside the Roasters store.
 * Back alley of the Roasters store.
 * Behind the Butcher store's counter.
 * On the floor inside the Tech store.
 * Behind the Tech store's counter.
 * Four Stores is the only stealth heist with unlinked cameras (no camera operator).
 * You can get stuck out of bounds if you stop moving a Hostages against a wall and it pushes you through.
 * As the van pulls up to the exfiltration point, the player can run with the van and take no damage from firearms (the walls of the van protect you from all damage).
