The same rules apply to era vs. estaba as ser vs. estar. When talking about location, estar is generally used (Ella está en el restaurante, El hotel está lejos de aquí). So for the example sentence you provided, estaba is used because it's talking about where the store used to be located.

Thanks Eric…I will re-do the session with that rule in mind!
