There's a young woman (new hire), who I've noticed getting hit on by a lot of the guys who also work at the store. I spoke to her and told her she could talk to HR about it, but she says she doesn't want to deal with the trouble. Would you step in for her or let it be? I don't want to close my eyes towards potential harassment, but also don't want to overstep my line.

When multiple coworkers are hitting on a new hire, it can easily slide into a hostile environment, especially if she feels she can’t say no because of power dynamics or social pressure.If the behavior is really obvious or ongoing, flag it to a supervisor or HR as your own concern (“I’ve seen X and Y repeatedly make comments to a new hire that seem inappropriate and unwanted”), without putting it all on her if she doesn’t want that.

I can understand someone having concern about potential harassment, but if the young woman indicates that she doesn't want HR involved I would respect her decision. People flirt with each other, and if that's what's happening, there's no need to escalate it into a serious issue. As long as she understands she could report harassment, it's probably best to let her decide how she wants to handle things.

Agree , if she isn’t at a point where she needs to report it, it’s her call.

If you see something, say something. You don’t have to involve her in your complaint to HR, I would specify that she didn’t want to involve HR. Your mentioning to them is putting on their radar that this could possibly evolve into something more serious, so they need to observe themselves. Per most harassment stipulations, you don’t need to be the one being harassed to be affected by it.
