Word formation

well, i've got a question for you..

our teacher told us to translate "Fahrradies" and "Schokolädchen". These are two word formations which do not really exist in german. "Fahrradies" ist the name of a shop where you can buy bycicles (bycicle=fahrrad & paradise=paradies). It's the same with "Schokolädchen", it's a shop where you can buy chocolates (chocolate=schokolade & a little shop=lädchen). I don't have a clue how to translate this without loosing the reference between the two words.

bycicledise, paradicle, chocoshop.. it sounds dumb to me.

Has anybody got an idea how to translate this?
