The intention of a ProductStore is to represent a set of options that  
represent a way to sell products to a customer. The decision to put  
this field on the ProductStore is based on the fact that generally a  
physical store and an online store will have rather different  
settings, including: fulfillment/shipping options, payment options,  
products for sale, how inventory is managed, and so on.

So yes, if you have one online store and one physical store you would  
have two ProductStore records.
