The App Store cannot be deleted or removed.

So its either in a folder or another home screen, or could have been restricted.

You can look for it using Spotlight by swiping down from the middle of the screen. If its in a folder it will tell you which one.

Otherwise make sure Installing Apps is not turned off in Settings->General->Restrictions as that will hide the App Store app if its turned off.

Thank you soooooo very much. It was the settings in Restrictions. As a side note, forgot my restrictions passcode and had to recover it (a process which took for ever). Once that process was accomplished, I fixed the problem amd back in business.
