Prepositional phrases start with above, below, in, out, over, under, during, to, by, of, for, from, behind, across, between, or around. (We made up a song to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy in whatever grade I learned that in.)
Of the Elm Street store is the prep phrase.

B would have done if you had said OF the Elm Street store. At any rate, it’s a conditional clause.
