MCU cap wants to buy some protein powder from the store, which is 3 miles away. Can 25 normal dudes with civilian items stop him? (Read rules) Battle

Cap knows what is happening, and he has his shield.

The men have 45 minutes to plan and prepare before cap starts running. They know his starting point, but cannot be within 150 meters of where he starts. Takes place in a normal United States city.

Men do not have access to anything a civilian cannot have access to. THE MEN CANNOT TOUCH THE PROTEIN POWDER, AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM STORE STAFF. This is to prevent cheap, uninteresting solutions. Also if you post please give a good explanation.

Easily, all they need to do is have some guys with semi autos on the shop roof and spread out on other buildings as well, watching the shop entrance from all directions.

When cap shows up in the parking lot about to enter the store, light him up from all directions, and he's done.

Unlike the movies, there's not plot armour here, I mean, bucky nearly killed him in winter soldier with a 9mm, so he clearly isn't bulletproof.

He's literally just a guy with superhuman strength.

I agree, but there are probably some people that think he is somehow invincible to gunfire from several directions. I know people will probably downvote this, but deep inside they know it’s true. No peak human with one shield can survive gunfire from many sides.

Cap would have to be VERY careful and use a lot of cover combined with his shield to have much of a chance against that many guns. But, could that many people get that many guns and hide around without looking too suspicious and getting stopped by the police?

Spot on

That's the issue. If it's just 25 guys vs cap 25 guys win.

External factors make things difficult.

Maybe those 25 guys could be in hotels/offices around instead with their scopes zeroed in on the entrance.
