There are question in my textbook:

The CDs in that music shop ____ we poked our heads into last week are on sale now.

(A) whose (B) what (C) which (D) where

The answer is (C). I want to know if there is no "into" in the question sentence the answer become "(D) where"?

I mean, is it ok to say "The CDs in that music shop where we poked our heads last week are on sale now."?

    Without into the listener will be wondering what you poked your heads with? I see nothing wrong with using where, and a native AmE speaker would use in: where we poked our heads in

    The most common would probably be that. I would use it or which more than I would where. What might be acceptable in some British English or other dialects, I'm not sure.

The word "where" also means "the place at/in which".

I think the OP can omit "into" and use "where" instead of "which" in the sentence presented, without any difference in meaning.
