What happens if the store doesn't show up for court on arraignment day?
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.
