Can you hit the bookstore?

While talking about what we usually do in our spare time,
one of my buddies said,

'I love going to a bookstore. It's hands-down the greatest time for me.
I can go nuts on reading books there. I try to hit the bookstore everyday.'

I was able to see how much he loves reading books.
What was confusing though was if there is anything like 'hit the bookstore'

I entered 'hit the bookstore' on Google,
and was not convinced native speakers actually say that.

I'm familiar with 'hit the books', which Google showed countless example sentences including the phrase.

Maybe my buddy was confused 'hit the books' with 'hit the bookstore'.

Next time I see him, I'll let him know the phrase he used is wrong only after I got the conviction that 'hit the bookstore' isn't even a word.

Could you please tell me if 'hit the bookstore' is commonly and widely used and there's nothing wrong with it or not?

Thank you in advance.
