There is this woman I like at a local store. I have absolutely no reason to shop there, but I would like to ask her on a date. What is a good excuse for why I might just stop by tomorrow?

The best excuse is none at all - go in and ask her for her number. If you are shy, call the store and ask for her. Then you can avoid face-to-face rejection if there is any rejection at all.
But really, just go in and seek her out. Ask another salesperson if you could talk to the lovely lady who helped you yesterday, and tell her that you have a question for her. Then ask what time she gets off work (or goes to lunch) and if you could buy her a cup of coffee or a bite to eat then.

A good reason to stop by is that you like the woman and want to ask her on a date. Just go in and say "hi I know this may not be the time or the place but I've been thinking about you, can I take you out to dinner". Be confident and if she is single and has any interest in you at all she'll more than likely say yes

You could use the excuse of you are stopping in to ask her on a date. Just ask if you could call her some time if she says yes wait a day or two and call and ask her out. Ask for her number on tuesday so you can ask her by wednesday to do something on Friday or Saturday.

your excuse should be that you like her and want to ask her out!!
if you pretend that you are going to buy something it will be obvious and she might take you for a stalker instead..so just don't do it.
you will come across as confident and like you're your own man i
... just say.. you just walked past the shop saw her and thought she was beautiful, and if she wants to go out some time for coffee or something like that.
But make sure she doesn't have a ring on her finger first- it would be embarrassing for all

Whether the other person is interested or not, you'll never know unless you ask. So gather up all your courage and follow these steps.
Instructions
•STEP 1: Introduce yourself to that person you've been admiring from afar.
•STEP 2: Get the person's telephone number, or tell a common friend you would like the number.
•STEP 3: Call. Choose a time that is not intrusive. Call when you are comfortable doing so, regardless of what your friends might say about the right time to call.
•STEP 4: Reintroduce yourself once you're on the phone by saying something like, "Hey, it's Shirley. We met at the drag strip."
•STEP 5: Using as little pretense as possible (ideally none), ask the person if he or she would like to get together for a cup of coffee or do something similarly casual. If you are politely refused, take the hint and get off the phone.
•STEP 6: Meet casually for a brief time - half an hour or so. If that goes well, suggest a more formal date, such as lunch.
•STEP 7: Go on the more formal date.
Tips & Warnings
•Besides getting a cup of coffee, some of the best ideas for a date are the things you love to do the most, such as going to an art museum or getting muddy on a mountain bike ride. This gives the other person a chance to get to know more about your personality.
•Humor is often the best remedy for rejection. Congratulate yourself for trying and move on.
•Going to see a movie is not a very good idea for a date; it shows a lack of creativity and does not allow the two of you to spend much time talking.

Whats so wrong with going there to ask her for a date, can't possibly be as pathetic as coming up with some kinda hairbrained sit-com-esque strategy for being in the store.
Best advice, if you're still using cover, don't use "I'm looking for something for my fiance" its never worked for me.

Ask her out to lunch.
It doesn't have the pressures of a Date.
Then you can get to know her better, and
ask her out on a real date at the end of lunch
if you want to.
With lunch, no pressure of a goodbye kiss.

Just pretend to buy a bunch of bogus stuff that is really out of character and then explain to her why you really came by, simply say lets do coffee you have me intrigued? It'll work if she has any personality or availability
