Mister Jim DOES know his stuff! Grocery stores can make great and easy conversions, and ususally, they are small enough to convert to climate control with a covered loading area. This can be accomplished with firewalls, as can a drive-through, where only the air in the drive through is exchanged and gasoline fire protected, and not the entire building. You will then need doors from the drive through area to access the space. If the store is a typical grocer, say 25,000 sq ft, and has a 3 acre parcel, this might be a good climate controlled building with direct access space constructed in the generous parking area. I hope this is helpful.
