Raodway store
Hi:)
I would translate it as a "roadway store", i.e. a store whose shop windows face the road

Street front
I considered curbside, but this is used more when you have hotdog stand. Here is an example from a Boston architectural site
"...create "a kind of cloistered effect on the street front for an internal world." "
"...create "a kind of cloistered effect on the street front for an internal world." "
Example sentence:
There was a XXX-shop on the street front at that time

a ground-level-store
Not too sure, but I suppose it would be
"XXX-shop had its ground-level-store then".

"XXX-shop had its ground-level-store then".

XXX -shop had it's (our) own shop back then
I don't know if there is an exact equivalent for this in English.
Here is a definition I found:
道路に面した店舗。⇔ビルイン店。
Also if you do a google search for this you get pictures of a bunch of normal looking shops, not part of a shopping complex
I think it might be better to avoid a direct translation here if its just an interview and not a description of shop architecture.
street front store, roadside store (or shop), shop facing so and so street are all possibilities, but does the reader need that much information?
