تنفس ماجد أبو سمحة، 40 عاما، الصعداء عندما أخبره صاحب المحل التجاري في مخيم المغازي للاجئين أن لديه عددا من الشموع

about powercuts in Gaza.

I wasn't sure if it just meant "shop" or if it was a more specific kind of shop.

Thank you very much for any help.

Peer comment(s):

agree Stephen Franke : Some variants in the US include just "store" or "business" or "place of business." Shop is also OK in some industries or trades.

Many thanks Stephen :)
agree Fuad Yahya : "Shopkeeper" or "storekeeper" (each is one word) would serve just fine for صاحب المحل التجاري. The truth is that صاحب المحل التجاري itself is not good Arabic. Nobody speaks that way in Arabic. We say صاحب الدكان , صاحب المحل , صاحب المتجر , صاحب المعرض
