A magazine is a collection of articles, photographs, and advertisements published every week or every month.
Don't use 'magazine' to refer to a building or part of a building where things are sold. The word you use is shop or store.
In British English, a building or part of a building where goods are sold is usually called a shop.
In American English, this kind of building is usually called a store, and shop is only used to mean a very small store that has just one type of goods.
In British English, very large shops are sometimes called stores.
In both British and American English, a large shop that has separate departments selling different types of goods is called a department store.
Shop can also be a verb. When people shop, they go to shops and buy things.
You usually say that someone goes shopping, rather than that they 'shop'.
When someone goes to the shops to buy things that they need regularly, such as food, you say that they do the shopping or do their shopping.
Shopping can be used without 'do' or 'go' to refer to the activity of buying things from shops.
Shopping can also refer to the things that someone has just bought from a shop or shops.
Shopping is an uncountable noun. Don't talk about 'a shopping' or someone's 'shoppings'.
