These are configured while building Guix:

$ ./configure --help
[...]
--localstatedir=DIR     modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
[...]
--with-store-dir=PATH   file name of the store (defaults to /gnu/store)
[...]

If you change the store directory, then you won't be able to use
substitutes from the project's build farm.
