    supplies, fr. estorer to store. See {Store}, v. t.]
    1. That which is accumulated, or massed together; a source
    from which supplies may be drawn; hence, an abundance; a
    great quantity, or a great number.

    storehouse; a warehouse; a magazine.

    3. Any place where goods are sold, whether by wholesale or
    retail; a shop. [U.S. & British Colonies]

    4. pl. Articles, especially of food, accumulated for some
    specific object; supplies, as of provisions, arms,
    ammunition, and the like; as, the stores of an army, of a
    ship, of a family.

    Usage: {Store}, {Shop}. The English call the place where
    goods are sold (however large or splendid it may be) a
    shop, and confine the word store to its original
    meaning; viz., a warehouse, or place where goods are
    stored. In America the word store is applied to all
    places, except the smallest, where goods are sold. In
    some British colonies the word store is used as in the
    United States.

    An alligator stuffed, and other skins
    Of ill-shaped fishes; and about his shelves
    A beggarly account of empty boxes. --Shak.
