Police said the men went into the Aberdeen Superette about 6pm on Sunday and demanded cigarettes from the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper grabbed a tomahawk from one of the men in an attempt to defend himself, and there was a struggle, in which he received a minor cut to his hand.
But the men fled the store empty-handed, after they were chased out by the shopkeeper's parents.
Police want to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity around the superette on Sunday.
