store
Place to buy
A store is a place where goods are sold—a retail establishment.
Americans say store where Britons say shop: grocery store, department store, hardware store.
To store something is to put it away for future use: Store the wine in a cool place.
A store of something is a supply kept on hand: a store of canned goods, a store of knowledge.
In computing, to store is to save data.
The phrase in store means awaiting: You never know what the future has in store.
