"We look for a store in the region" - why not?

    "we are looking for the shop in the vicinity"? https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/vicinity

          In English it's very common to say "neighbourhood shop". I wonder why only "store" is accepted?

            I should have added it together with neigbourhood store. Well, added now.

            When the sentence is pronounced and you have to write it in Polish, I guess it is possible to hear "szukamy sklepów w okolicy"? And it seems to be grammatically correct, too?

              Grammatically correct, sure.

              Well... I really think that there would be two distinct "w" then. I wouldn't think of plural shops hearing this audio.
