The App Store is not one of the apps that can be deleted. The usual reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. See: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


If that is not the cause, try using Search to see if that will locate it: Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
