Typically a preliminary hearing which is required to establish probable cause to arrest and in some cases to detain a suspect. An arraignment is when the formal charges are read to the accused and the accused has an opportunity to enter a plea. In many cases both the preliminary hearing and the arraignment occur at the same time.

Arraignment is the way the court system legally informs someone of charges being made against them and where the accused formally enters a plea. Since a store cannot be charged with a crime, one must presume that "the store" is the complaining witness, such as in a shoplifting case. If that is the situation, there is no need for anyone from "the store" to appear at arraignment.
What happens if you have NOT been arrested and an arraignment date comes up?
In order for an arraignment to be scheduled the paperwork for an arrest must have been processed.

A lot of lesser criminal acts are treated this way. If you fail to appear at the arraignment things will get much more serious.
