“A male entered the business and pointed a handgun at an employee before assaulting her and demanding cash,” Const. Nicholas Gluckstein said in a statement released Wednesday.
He said the robber stole “numerous products and cash,” and then fled the area before officers arrived.
The employee was not physically injured.
Cops are looking for a man described as 18 to 25 years old, about 6-foot-2, with a slim build. He was wearing a mask, black hooded sweater, light-coloured pants and black shoes at the time of the robbery.
