Norwegian term or phrase: butikk-i-butikken
I'm working on an article in which the company discussed is suggested to have run "butikk-i-butikken" - which crops up occasionally in other stories such as here: http://www.nrk.no/vestfold/_-det-er-a-drive-butikk-i-butikke...

I grasp what it means - but I can't come up with a neat solution in English. Suggestions?

In-store shop


Explanation:
I get the negative connotations of shop in shop, or business within business. Use two different terms to avoid this. Shop-in-store an alternative.

If you WANT to express the negative angle, business within business probably does it best.

quick shop


Explanation:
Some stores, e.g. supermarkets, have a type of "quick shop" located at the entry of the store, for quick purchases (and to compete with convenience stores).

Could it be this you are referring to?
