Police say two men raided the BP petrol station, on the A11 in Thetford Forest Park, on Saturday night.
One man stood at the door of the shop whilst a second, described as wearing black bottoms, black trainers and a black coat with the hood up held a knife to the cashier's neck forcing him to open the till.
Around £300 was taken before the suspects fled the scene on foot into the forest.
