| Grading comment Thanks again, David. This fits. Yes, later in the interview it becomes clear that he's referring to a dealership. It seems that dealership managers in that area of Spain, at least, may sometimes refer to their dealership informally as a "shop."

8 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +8 ... and I (also) manage a store.
Explanation:
The "also" is mine, but I think the English version sounds strange without it. The original doesn't say which kind of store it is, I imagine the rest of the text will clarify it.
If he was the owner of the store, I'd expect "tengo una tienda."

Asker: Thanks, Maria Luz, for your answer. It becomes clear, later in the interview, that he speaker is referring to his dealership, so I went with David's translation.
