Definitions
Newsstore is an American English term for what British English calls a newsagent — a small retail shop selling newspapers, magazines, snacks, tobacco, and miscellaneous everyday items. The compound follows the straightforward American pattern of naming shops by what they primarily sell. In the US these shops blur into convenience stores and are often found in transit hubs, hotels, and busy urban areas. The term is functional and unremarkable in register — simply the American way of naming what in the UK would be 'the newsagent's'.
