How to create store category?

Stores can be categorized based on any attribute. For example, you can categorize stores based on who the items are being sold or issued to, like a ‘Student’ store category, an ‘Employee’ store category, or a ‘Guest’ category. You can also categorize stores as ‘Consumable Items’ and ‘Non-consumable Items’. Or you can categorize stores as a ‘Sellable Store’ category (stores with items for sale) and an ‘Indent Store’ category (stores with items that can be indented).
