Advanced Select statement (Laravel)

In the Products table i have the store_id column which connects the product with the store.

In my APIController which i use with Angular i have this return statement. I am returning a collection of products.

return Product::where('category_id', $category->id)->select(array('id',
                                                                        'name',
                                                                        'newprice',
                                                                        'image',
                                                                        'store_id',
                                                                        'link'))->paginate(20);

My problem is that instead of returning the store_id(from the products table) i want to return the store name, which is NOT stored in the same table. Is there any way to do that? Is my only option the use of JOIN?
