  1. The App Store app on iPad cannot be deleted. It can be removed from a Home Screen, hidden or restricted.If its only been removed from the Home Screen, you should be able to to find it in the App Library.

  2. If your parents restricted the App Store, then you need to talk to them to get it back. We can't help you bypass your parents' decisions.
