I have already gone there and stores were great.Imagine this as a quote from an email from a person to his friends.

Answer

1. First of all you need to change 'Gone' in this case to 'been'. and 2)You need to add an article, in this case  'the'

so your sentence would now look like this:
'I have already been there and the stores are great.'

You choose the first option because you used the present perfect 'have already' which connects a past action and what the update is till now which you indicate with using 'are great'.
