1.
shop, store, business premises
A formal term for a retail shop or store, emphasizing the physical premises. Used in business, real estate, and official contexts rather than everyday conversation, where みせ or お店 is preferred.
Usage
More formal than 店 or お店. Used in business writing, real estate listings, and corporate communications. Also used as a counter-like word: 200店舗 (200 stores). The distinction between 店舗 (physical store) and the more casual 店 is similar to English "premises/establishment" vs. "shop."
