In some places, sure, the shop probably wouldn't go out of business. However, places change; if enough people moved in / out of an area to cause a shift in values, that shop wouldn't be as successful anymore.
History does not bear this out as being a factual statement, it underestimates the amount of racist arseholes there are.
In other places, the shop would be shunned almost immediately. I can't imagine there would be many locations in the Greater London area for instance where a shop like that would be accepted.
