At least two masked men burst into the Co-op on Stafford Road, Oxley, as it was opening for business.
They threatened the two members of staff on duty with a crowbar and locked them in a toilet cubicle while they emptied the contents of the safe and cigarette counter.
Police were alerted around 6.50am on Friday morning when one of the trapped employees raised the alarm on her mobile.
Anyone with information should call 101.
