Rent should be similar to market price for the region. Regarding location, the family wants the store to the be sucessfull for 2 reasons: (1) the rent period is going to be longer and (2) they own the retailer and want to invest in viable stores!

If rent were the same, then it wouldnt happen as often, because any slightly better deal will make the owner of the property lose out.

Rent on self-owned is definitely higher than market price. It has to be for the transaction to make sense.
