We were like, 'What do we do now?'" store manager Jessica Hinkle told WGN. "Another lady comes around the corner and she says 'I'm a labor nurse. Can I help?' and we said, 'Yes, yes please.' She had gloves in her pocket, (and) she was ready."
Firefighters were called to the store and helped deliver the baby, a girl. The woman and her child are doing well.
"They're the typical fire department that shops in our store, so they were pretty proud of themselves," Hinkle told WGN.
The birth took about 45 minutes.
