It seems to me the "store reference" / URL is not complex - I wouldn't
expect to hit a copyright or database-right problem in using it. I'd
personally have no problem doing it. These are basically just URLs and
if we had a problem with those, there are probably plenty more URLs in
OSM that we'd need to discuss!
It's quite similar to "deep linking" which has occasionally been debatable:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_aspects_of_hyperlinking_and_framing
Note that there's not much case law to guide us in the UK.

When I did a similar thing for a different website I was advised to
contact them and check they had no objections. I did that, they didn't
mind, I pasted their reply into the wiki.

Best
