Turning Church with Sloped Floors into Retail Space

My church is exploring the possibility of turning their old church property into a thrift store. The problem is, the flooring is sloped for site lines in the sanctuary. Could a thrift store be operated in this space without addressing the slight slope? Would it be "grandfathered in" per say?

    Maybe get some bids on fixing the floor (???).

    Would a convenience store or a liquor store be more useful (profitable) to the neighborhood vs a thrift store (???)

    What about a daycare (???)

    or a hair salon (???)

    Will it zone for commercial use, vs religious use (???)

    Good Luck!

     Sloped floors make amazing event venues
