No one was injured in the robbery.
Det Con Susannah Holt, of GMP's Tameside CID, said: "Thankfully no one was injured during this robbery where staff who were just doing their job were threatened with hammers.
"They were understandably left shaken and we're now appealing to members of the public to come forward if they recognise the men in the CCTV images.
"At this stage, we believe these men were witnesses because they entered the store around the time of the robbery.

"One was wearing a black balaclava and the other was wearing a black scarf covering his face."
