A shortened phrase, part of Canadian and Upper Midwestern dialects. It is (very) short for "I'm going to go to the store" where store can be replaced with any place, such as the mall or a movie theater.
Used by Canadians and more rural Upper Midwesterners, who are known for making phrases shorter so they are easier to say.
