The original distinction between a store and a shop was that things were made or worked on at a shop but at a store they just came in from wherever they were made and 'stored' there till someone bought them.
If the language change had gone the other way round y'all preescrips would just be puling and micturating about using the hoity-toity word 'dealership' for what was simply a store.
