shop / business
'das Geschäft' and 'der Store' can both mean a place where you buy something. 'Geschäft' is the normal German word and works for almost all kinds of shops. 'Store' is an English loanword and sounds more modern. It is often used for brands, fashion, technology, or digital services such as an app store. Learners may confuse the words because both can refer to shops in everyday language. If you want to speak simply and generally, 'Geschäft' is usually more natural. 'Store' fits better when the name or concept feels modern or digital.
