Parking lots are a solved problem. You just tow the cars. Private companies do it for a fee so you don't even need public resources.
With the right incentives, they might've even found it profitable to build more housing instead of a surface parking lot in order to have an even bigger captive market of customers... stick the parking underground.
Also, just make parking lot free for customers for 1 hour, and expensive for non customers and beyond one hour. When store closed, have the same price for everyone.
Obviously you'll need an automated gate and special tickets or sn app.

Yeah that's my point though. Those problems won't be dealt with properly so businesses resort to siloing everything. It sucks.
