I got the solution to access store details at my shopify app front-end as following

require changes => use 'cookie' npm package for storing data in cookies and also set cookie as like this in your controller

   const cookie = require('cookie');

  app.get('/',(req,res)=>{
    const data=req.query;
    res.cookie('shop_detail',data);
});

get cookie from your front-end use following javascript function

      function readCookie(name) {
        var nameEQ = name + "=";
        var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
        for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
          var c = ca[i];
          while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
          if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
          }
          return null;
      }

call this function like this

readCookie('shop_detail');
