According to the Boksburg SAPS spokesperson, Sgt Cebisa Maseko, the thugs, described as African males, entered the store pretending to be customers.
“Once inside the shop, one of the robbers took out a firearm and aimed it at the shop owner, assaulted his brother and demanded money,” said Maseko
They then helped themselves to the money, stock, including cigarettes, and a TV.
The gang fled on foot.
No shots were fired and apart from the brother, who suffered head injuries, no other injuries were reported.
Police are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
A case of business robbery and assault was opened.
The robbers were still at large on Tuesday afternoon.
