About ‘situation 2’.
Yuko says “ここ、こんなお店できたんだ。
And your translation is given as “I didn’t know a store like this has opened here.”
I am ‘seeing’ “here, this sort of store has opened”, I cannot ‘see’ the “I don’t know”?
Thanks

A literal translation is “Oh, they opened a shop (or store) like this here.”
んだ here shows that the speaker is surprised or didn’t expect it.
So the real meaning is closer to: “I didn’t know a shop/store like this to open here.”
