It could be good for business for other reasons too. For example, i never shop at Lush because there's no parking and the nature of what i'm buying is heavy. I don't mind paying a dollar to park and for sure if there's parking i would always shop there and support the local businesses.
Same with most of the stores downtown - i would even buy the permit if i felt it worthwhile so i can have the convenience of shopping where i want to.
