i can see it on plenty of indian and chinese shops, where the shop is upfront,, and they made the deposit room upstairs like a flat of some sorts. i don't know how your area was, but here there are plenty of kind of derelict old buildings where you get the shop on ground floor and some even got 2 floors to deposit your stuff.
That would make it easier, but I think owning your own workplace, that's pricey!
