Would you capitalize the word shop in Stationery shop?

No, you would not capitalize "shop" in "Stationery Shop."

Here's why:

* Common nouns are not capitalized: "Shop" is a common noun, a general term for a place where things are sold.

* Proper nouns are capitalized: "Stationery" is part of the name of the specific shop.

* The "shop" is descriptive, not part of the name: You could say "The stationery store" or "The stationery boutique" and the meaning would be the same.

So, the correct capitalization is Stationery Shop.
