The LPO was taken to hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury.
Saskatoon police arrested the suspects two hours later in a vehicle that was parked in the 700-block of Idylwyld Drive North.
Officers said they seized items stolen from the store, two grams of meth and stolen identification documents.
A 35-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, both from Calgary, are charged with theft, assault, and possession of a controlled substance.
They are scheduled to appear Friday evening before a justice of the peace.
