士多鋪 - Rarely, if at all.

People from HK would either say 鋪頭 or 士多. 士多 also leans towards more convenience stores - think 7-Eleven.

To say 士多店 is like saying "Bento Box" in English for the Japanese bento. A big no no.


Once in a while you do hear older people refer to the whole thing, IMO it's a combination of both. Nowadays I wouldn't expect any young people to even use the word 士多 as frequently as it has been in the past.

香港人多用鋪，內地用店。士多成了店鋪的類別，因此有士多店，糕餅店，雪糕店，便利店，等等。老一輩的香港人也會用“士多鋪”，如米鋪、金鋪、雜貨鋪，海味鋪，等等。
