She probably had a reason. In the city, you see lots of stores that
aren't doing much business but manage to stay open way beyond the time
normal people would have thrown in the towel. There are two reasons
for that, either they're a way to launder money or some old goat is
making work for his mistress and he's using it as a write off. Your
aunt's store was probably a way she supported her hobby and she could
travel under the guise of buying for the store. Everything she bought
was for sale so it was legal and she could write off all her expenses,
which included travel and rent.
