You can remember Buchhandlung by handling books in a bookstore.

You can remember Tierarzt. If your animal dies, you will cry tears and perhaps you are an artist, so you will cry a work of art.

You can remember Friseursalon, because you go there when you don't want you hair to be frizzy.

For Supermarkt, it is the same as in English without the 'e'.

You can remember Tankstelle. It means gas station because if you don't have gas in your tank, you might stall.

You can remember Park. It is like English, but has a capital 'p'.

Bank is the same in German as it is in English, but it starts with a capital letter at the beginning.
