The last sentence is incorrect. The modifiers are misplaced/ambiguous — the appositive "Shoe Empire" and the phrase "from her favorite store" are separated from the noun they describe and could be read as modifying "money."

Corrected options:
- Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store, Shoe Empire, once she saves up enough money.
- Once she saves up enough money, Ana wants to buy new athletic shoes from her favorite store, Shoe Empire.
