How do I turn off a map click event

Question

I'm able to get map click events and want to turn off the click event handler once the event is received and handled.

I want to remove the event handler so that subsequent clicks on the map no longer cause the event handler to be invoked.

view.on("click", function(event) {
    var point = "point: (" + event.mapPoint.latitude + ", " + event.mapPoint.longitude + ")";
  console.log("click event: ", point);
  findStores(event.mapPoint.latitude, event.mapPoint.longitude);
  // now I want to disable the click event until it is re-enabled
  });

Since you tagged your question with arcgis I assume the view in your code example is an instance of esri/views/View.

Then, simply following the documentation for view.on(), you just need to store and call the remove handler:

var handler = view.on("click", function(event) {
    var point = "point: (" + event.mapPoint.latitude + ", " + event.mapPoint.longitude + ")";
    console.log("click event: ", point);
    findStores(event.mapPoint.latitude, event.mapPoint.longitude);

    handler.remove();
});
