The national diversity is felt there as well. Juri (from his name I would imagine he's an immigrant from Eastern Europe) has started a business in a foreign country, succeeded and grown. This adds to the impact.
The angle is pretty good but I would take the picture a step higher and maybe crop out the sides because there is a tilt caused by the scene or camera angle. And I wish I knew what camera, zoom and shutter speed was used in here because these facts are interesting for quality assessment.
The colors are good. Quite natural with almost no grain, at night, with neon. And that's impressing.
In summary I acn say it's a good photo. Fascinating, with a pretty good technique.
The difficulty is that you actually need to read these things into the photo. The photograph is ambivalent as to time other than it's dark outside. The casual stance of the figure in the door does not suggest either hard work or exhaustion. The clean flatness of the store also doesn't pass through what you say in the text about these stores and the way in which their owners customize them.
Still, the image is strong. It has much of interest going on completely unrelated to the things you say you are showing. The glow of the artificial light sources is terrific and something unique to imaging them - - that is, in normal observation, if I were standing in front of the store, I wouldn't be able to take in all these lights sources in this way - - particularly the rich palette of color distortions and temperatures.
I am a bit confused on the horizon line you chose. It looks like the "level" is based on the top stair in the front of the store. But it might just be that the lens is distorting all of the horizontal lines making any choice likely to still throw the horizon. There are processes in raw image applications and in Photoshop that can adjust for this. (Also would be nice to have camera metadata available for any work on which Critique is solicited if you want technical feedback at all.)
