Hogsmead *has* a teen-age trendy clothing shop to buy 200-Galleon
trainers and 800-Galleon jumpers, because the school uniform means
the kids don't get much chance to wear trendy stuff during the school
year.)" <snip>

It would be good for business, I think. The school I work at has a
Barnes & Noble Bookstore on campus. But the construction of such a
tunnel would have to have been approved by Hogwarts since the
Castle's magical protections would extend underground too (or that
would be a rather bad mistake by the 4 founders), I think. Besides,
the entrance goes right into the castle and not just on the ground
somewhere. So if anything, the construction is initiated from
Hogwarts to other places rather than the other way around. Also the
commercial tunnel shouldn't be a secret one protected by a password
(dissendium), but one that students can access freely. :O)
