If they are violating store policy, she has a right to ask themselves to leave if they don't buy anything. If not, she had no legal right to force them to go and they have no legal authority to remove them.
If they are trespassing, the police can do what I laid out in my post. They can also calmly ask them to leave.
If they are not trespassing, they need to tell the manager the men have a legal right to be there and there's nothing they can do to help her.
If she continues to insist she wants them out, they should tell her she's out of line and she needs to cool out. If she continues to make a scene. they should ask the two men if they want to press charges for harassment and / or arrest her for disturbing the peace.
