I don't get the meaning of という店もあります in that sentence. I understand: "This month sales were 10 times higher than the sales from April last year", then I have no clue for the end of the sentence.
今月の売り上げが去年の４月の１０倍になったという店もあります
My guess is:
"This month sales were 10 times higher than the sales from April last year for one of the shop".
By the way, this is the complete sentence:
大阪ではタピオカを入れた飲み物を売る店がたくさんできていて、今月の売り上げが去年の４月の１０倍になったという店もあります。
Can you guys help me please?
The main clause of this sentence is simple:
店もあります。
There are even/also stores.
And there is a long relative clause modifying 店. This という is quotative-と followed by 言う, but is a very common combination used to describe a following noun. See my previous answer for examples. In this case, you can use "where" or "in which".
～という店もあります。
There are even stores where ～.
Therefore:
今月の売り上げが去年の4月の10倍になったという店もあります。
There are even (tapioca) stores where this month's sales were 10 times higher than the sales from April last year.
