Instead of "Does this store sell/have X" or "Has this store got X?", can it be:

>Has this store kept X?

And for someone who wants to open a store and isn't sure as to what he should sell (or have in his store), can it be:

>What can I keep in my store?

(What can I have in my store?/ What can I sell in my store?)

I'm directly translating it, but I have a pretty strong feeling that "keep" doesn't sound natural here. Am I right in thinking so?

@EnglishNerd Your feeling is correct.

You would not say “Has this store kept?” in a normal conversation between a customer and someone who works in the store.

But if you are talking about an item that the store usually has in stock, it would be common to hear something like “Has this store been able to keep the new BTS CD in stock?” Or someone who owns the store or works in the store might tell a customer, “We haven’t been able to keep stock on the Liverpool shirts since the team won the Premier League title.”

“What can I keep in my store?” is a reasonable question to be asked by someone who wants to open a store, but it sounds slightly unnatural. More common would be “What can I sell in my store?”
