The Flag Ship store would let most informed people think it would be the first store open but it is NOT. It is the best or leading store with the product. Macy's Midtown NYC is their flag ship store. Designers have their Flagship Stores. The Best and Most Stocked Store is the general Flagship. Tiffany's would be NYC on 5th. Not necessarily the biggest but the best.

It usually means the the most important or leading store of a group (some chains have several flagship stores)
It originated from a naval term meaning the commanding ship of a fleet, where the officer usually had a distinguishing flag.

That is a store that that is the main and usally biggest the company has. Most of the time they are in the town where is company headquarters are. For ex-sample, Wal-Mart's "flagship" store is a Supercenter in Bentonville Arkanans. They try out new things like automactic price tags and those new self-serv check-out lanes there. Does that help??

"Flagship store" is a mixed metaphor.
The "flagship" in a Navy was the most advanced, or most well built, or simply the one that the Navy wanted to pattern the rest of their ships after.
A "flagship store" doesn't have to be the first ever built, but it is generally considered the one after which the others in a chain of stores would be patterned.

The very first store of a chain.

I think it's the first store that opened for a company.
