Do shops and shops mean the same thing?

Shops usually refer to places that specialize in selling goods or providing services, which is a relatively broad concept, including all kinds of shops, department stores, supermarkets and so on. Shops usually refer to real estate used for commercial purposes, which can include shops, booths, etc. This is a more specific concept.

So it can be said that shops are a type of shops, but the scope of shops is wider, including more commercial real estate.
