The Apple App Store App cannot be removed from iPad. Perhaps you have you moved the App Store icon to another Home Screen - or to an App folder.


If you can’t locate the App, try using the built-in Search tool. Simply swipe downwards on any empty area of any Home Screen to expose the Search dialogue; just type “App Store” and a direct link to the App Store should appear.


Alternatively, if you have iPadOS15 or iPadOS16 installed, use the App Library to find the App Store. From any Home Screen, swipe the Home Screen pages to the left; the last page is the App Library - where you will find automatically grouped Apps - and another method to search for installed Apps.
