He grabbed the money from the till and is believed to have made off into a nearby residential area.
Lancashire Police has now released the CCTV footage in a bid to jog people's memories of the incident after they were unable to trace the balaclava-clad robber following a public appeal. 
Det Con Dave Greenwood said: 'This was a violent and aggressive attack which left two members of staff terrified and fearful for their own safety.
It has been some time since the initial incident but we remain determined to identify the man responsible and hope that someone who views the footage may hold important information about his identity.'
The masked man arrived at the shop on Harry Potts Way at around 8.45pm on July 21, armed with the sword and approached the counter to demand money from staff. 
Police say he was white, around 5ft 10in tall, slim, and spoke with a local accent. He was wearing a grey tracksuit top with a logo on the top of the hood and dark tracksuit bottoms at the time.

"Degrassi money still coming in don't sleeeeeeeep..." the 30-year-old Toronto native  joked .  It's safe to say the "Hotline Bling" rapper isn't relying on moola from his years on television as wheelchair-chair bound Jimmy Brooks.
