Isn't the reading for shop 'てん', not 'たな'?

they're both correct! てん is the onyomi form, たな is the kunyomi form. if youre not sure what onyomi and kunyomi are, the basic idea is that onyomi pronounciations of the word are used when there's multiple kanji next to each other (part of one bigger word) whereas kunyomi pronounciations are used when there's just the one kanji with some hiragana for grammar. 

 

if you highlight the kanji (at least on computer) or look up a word in the dictionary, the two different meanings for 店 will come up.
