Hello.

I'm going to go out on a limb her and say that your book was probably
"Nightmare Store" (1982) by Hilary Milton.  It was Book #2 in a series
called "Plot Your Own Horror."

From Alibris:
"The reader, trapped after closing in the newest and largest
department store in Atlanta, is given choices to make to remove
himself from the night of terror."

"...has anyone ever heard of a choose your own path book called
Nightmare Store?  ... it was this great, scary little pick-a-path type
book about getting locked in a dept. store overnight.  Spooky cover
art and even spookier stories!"

"your own horror story"

I hope this is your book. If not, please let me know via the request
