Did she buy the shop or is she leasing it? If it’s a lease then she should go to the owner/property manager and ask that they bring it up to code or she will walk.
On a side note to all others out there with big plans, please check with your building department before spending any money. They should offer a pre-plan meeting that will let you know what is required prior to making a huge investment and then left holding the bag.

It’s a lease. And your advice is good. I’ll tell her. Thanks!
