A "shop" means any premises that sell retail goods, often of a single kind such as electrical goods, clothes, groceries etc. It can also mean a small neighbourhood establishment that sells, milk, bread, cigarettes, newspapers etc. "Store" tends to mean a larger establishment that is divided into sections and sells several types of goods. Large stores are called "department stores", because they are effectively a number of shops in one setting.
