The 51-year-old driver got out to go into the Quick Shop on Patterson Street off Hillsdale Avenue shortly after 8 p.m. when the 2011 Chevy began rolling, Police Capt. Sean Smith said.
The driver hopped back into the truck and mistakenly accelerated, sending it through the front of the store, he said.
No one was injured.
Borough police and firefighters were among the responders.
The truck was towed and a building inspector was notified to determine whether there was any structural damage to the building.
