A man armed with a knife and a screwdriver targeted a shop in Bellshill.
The thug targeted the McColls on Calder Road at around 3:30pm on Sunday and threatened a staff member, who refused to hand over cash.
He then left with two crates of beer and headed off in the direction of Rosevale Crescent.
The suspect is described as male, of heavy build, wearing a dark hooded bubble style jacket with his hood up, denim jeans and brown boots.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
Detective constable Gerry Hattie, of Wishaw CID, said: “The victim was uninjured as a result of this incident but has been left shaken.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the robbery or may have seen a man matching this description.
“Anyone who has any information can contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 2572 of 3 November 2019."
It comes following a shop in nearby Hamilton was targeted twice in two days. The incidents are not thought to be linked.
