You don't even need a relation object, it could be done with the shop as a
polygon and the nodes inside (with level tags you could handle even
multistorey features).
IMHO this would mean a different thing. It would be a shop (business)
inside a different shop (business), not a shop providing a service. The
former also exist, it is not hypothetical.

I have done something similar (overlapping 2 shops which somehow were one
shop) once, where there was an optician and a deli shop in the same
physical shop, operated by the same person, but each with a distinct name
(and a sign split into 2), but I'd see this as a rather bizzar and rare
exception (too rare to merit it's own tag).
