store opening
New shop launch
A store opening is the event or moment when a new retail establishment begins operating and welcomes customers for the first time.
Grand openings often feature promotions, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and special events to attract initial traffic: The store opening drew huge crowds with its doorbuster deals.
The phrase can also simply refer to when a store unlocks its doors each day: We arrived before the store opening at 9 AM.
