The terrifying raid left workers 'in a state of extreme shock and distress' according to a Crimestoppers manager.
Now the charity has released images of the suspects and a £5,000 reward for information about the violent robbery at the store in Keyway, Willenhall.
The two armed men targeted the discount retailer on Friday, February 24 at 8.30am and wielded a knife to force staff to empty the safe.
Crimestoppers today offered a reward of up to £5,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible.
Witnesses describe the men as being black, around 5ft 11in tall, of athletic build and with West Midlands accents.
Pauline Hadley, regional manager at Crimestoppers, said: “This was a terrifying incident for the staff involved who were left in a state of extreme shock and distress.
"The men responsible must be found before they strike again.
“We believe someone knows who did this, but may be too scared of reprisals to come forward.
"Crimestoppers is here – as an independent charity – offering a safe way for people to pass on information completely anonymously. You won’t have to give a statement to police or appear in court.”
