That bike appears to be a single-speed with nutted rear axle and horizontal dropouts, so the rear wheel alignment (and chain tension, which should be "no tension") will be partly determined by the installer. Perhaps you should look up some instructions or videos on how to do it properly, or ask at the shop. Again, the chain should never be tight, it should be able to move about a quarter-inch up and down.
