behind

What does 'it' refer to, VT?

So, can I change it like this way:

(a) Behind his stall, there is a coffee shop named 33 Coffee Shop.

(b) Behind his stall, it has a coffee shop.

Sentence (a) is OK.
What does 'it' refer to in sentence (b)?

So, you mean I have to change it like this way:

(b) Behind his stall, there is a coffee shop.

Hi,

Yes.

The basic pattern is

There is [a thing] [at a location].

There is [a post office] [beyond the bridge].
There is [a banner] [above the door].
There is [a coffee shop] [behind his stall].

You can usually place the location phrase first.

Beyond the bridge there is a post office.
Above the door there is a banner.

Hi,
when I read "it's a coffee shop" it didn't sound completely unfamiliar to me. Then I remembered that it maybe it's a feature of some dialects, or maybe it's not but there are some people who talk that way. In other words, I think I heard that some people use "it's" instead of "there's". It's not correct from a prescriptive point of view, obvioulsy, and it's not very common either, I think
