storekeeper

Runs a shop

A storekeeper is someone who owns or operates a store, typically a small retail shop.

The term is more common in American English and often suggests a local or independent business rather than a chain: The storekeeper knew all his customers by name.

In military contexts, a storekeeper manages supplies and inventory.
