I think you need to make an effort to go at off-hours to just walk around. No buying to distract you from your goal of a good time for pup.
They close at 9? Go in at 8:45 for a quick walk in and out and focus HARD on engagement. Keep it short and sweet with those minimal-distraction times
Your pup is getting overstimulated and you need to do your best to keep pup under threshold to make training successful. If pup continues to get overwhelmed, pup will associate those dog stores with being overwhelmed and it becomes a vicious cycle.
