GLENDALE, Calif. (FOX 11) - A Sprinkles Cupcakes in Glendale was briefly closed after someone captured video of a rat running around inside the store.

A rat was seen running through a display case inside the cupcake store, located in the Americana at Brand.

The store closed three hours early on Friday for a deep cleaning and reopened for business on Saturday, a store worker said.

The company provided the following statement to FOX 11:
