Frank pointed a handgun at the female clerk and demanded money and liquor.
Police caught up with the pair several hours later in Rutland and found a handgun in the truck they were driving.
Last August, Frank was sentenced to five years in prison for his part in the robbery, the mandatory minimum for a robbery involving a firearm.
On Thursday, a judge also sentenced Stocker to a five year term.
He also faces a 10-year firearms prohibition and a $600 victim surcharge fine.
