The App Store is not one of the built-in apps that can be deleted. The usual reason for it not being visible is a restriction on purchasing. See: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If that isn't it, try to see if Search will locate it. Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch – Apple Support
