Howell/Phillips/Amos shop Aston help please

On the 1921 Census the whole of the Howell family are living at that address but Kelly's does not list a shop at that address in 1921.
I wonder when and why it became a shop and who converted it into a shop.
Maud's mother appears to have died in 1925, I wonder if that prompted the family to open a shop.
 
The 1939 census for 31 Lynton Road has Harold & Maud Amos with Harold down as General labourer & Maud as "shopkeeper sweets & general". There are also 6 others, 3 of whom are redacted. Of the 3 shown, there is Joseph Howell Amos, Maud Phillips (later Potter), & Lilian Amos (later Darling)
