Different definition, based on how Duo works. "A" wouldn't be as precise as "the". They both refer to one thing, but "the" infers that it's more important/the speaker knows which one they are talking about.
コンビニ refers specifically to a convenience store. みせ is a more general term for stores and can include restaurants and such.
