Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that your App options are all set to "Allow".


If that is not the issue, do a spotlight search for App Store to see if you can locate it. If you accidentally moved it into a folder, the folder name will be displayed, and you just need to find it on the Home screen where the folder is located, open the folder, tap and hold the icon until it starts to wiggle, and then move it out of the folder.


Check all of your Home screens to see if it is showing on any of them.


You can also go to Settings>General>Reset, and click on Reset Home Screen Layout to return your Home Screen to its original layout.


Cheers,
