I have a USA Shopify store and want to create a UK store. Should I use a domain or a sub-domain for the new store?

I'm currently running 2x Shopify Stores (names changed from actual):

• "coolpants.com" is our UK store
• "us.coolpants.com" is our USA store

However, Google Analytics has shown that most of the traffic to "coolpants.com" comes from the USA, and this market has our biggest growth potential. So we want to switch our domain setup to the below:

• Make "coolpants.com" our USA store
• Stop using "us.coolpants.com" and redirect it to "coolpants.com"
• Set up our UK store as a new domain ("coolpants.co.uk) or subdomain ("uk.coolpants.com")

My question is – should I set up the UK store as a domain or a sub-domain? What are the pros and cons of each? Thank you in advance for any help!

all depends on what you have, I mean if you want to rank a domain from scratch could take a couple of months if your subdomain has relevant links maybe you should use it if not use then new domain will require the same time and effors.
