Bad Feng Shui? Good Success!

Lately i visited some big store in Switzerland. That store is located in one of those rather bleak zones where all the big shops coagulate, this is the aerial view:

Shop Area delineated in orange, main entrance marked in yellow

This shop is suffering a massively huge Sickle Sha, which is considered very bad. However, business appeared to be good and in addition the staff was friendly and relaxed. The interior of the shop was pretty well laid out. Outside influence are more powerful than inside Feng Shui, so at the place i checked the view from the door:

View from main entrance outwards

Again, not really pretty, but the core Form Feng Shui is intact: the sickle is buffered by a solid hedge and then a considerable Ming Tang. Tiger is very strong, Dragon not, Red Bird has nice rolling hills and a table. The sharp aggressive Qi from the sickle has to climb over the hedge and can collect in front of the door. Pretty nice. I still was intrigued, so i checked the main XKDG setup for the place:

Checking the Qi mouths

Entrance 9/9, incoming sickle blade 2/9, confluence 2/7. Hexagram Families not matching, Gua’s not matching but countering in, Stars in harmony. Not the best setup, but obviously the setup like it is, is fully supported by the landform. I learned you need to see the Qi mouth, so perhaps landform does its job without the formula, however the formula even with the blocked view to the Qi mouths supports the landform. One thing that would help further would be if the main entrance would be visible from the access street, which is behind the building – not applicable in this case.
