There are too many possible explanations to count.

Do you have a path to both shops?

Are both shops open?

Is one shop closer to the crowds?

Is one shop food and the other drink, and right now everybody happens to be hungry and nobody is thirsty?

its ship one food shop on the right first floor one food shop on the left first floor. both shops are open i cant see a way to make a split path up to both shops as im guessing the path is routing the customers to one shop only

Generally if you start building a path at the shop it will automatically connect to the closest path nearby. As a matter of fact, if the nearby path is too close, it's almost impossible to make one go elsewhere.

But the shop must be connected to a path. IRL people would just hop over any small gap in the path. In the game, a small gap might as well be a 3 meter high solid brick wall.

There is a checkbox for a "Attach to Grid" when creating the path. That might be the solution you need. Or maybe not. It can be a little tricky to work in close quarters.

I think you need to create a path that connects shop A to shop B, then add a path to that path that leads back to the Main Path. Try that.

Might be a good idea to post a screenshot.

I worked it out i had to have a path going between both food places then going down to the ground floor. thanks ever so much for your help every one

From the screenshot I think the peeps will just go to the nearest shop. You could move the other shop that they are not going to closer to the other one and see if that helps. I'm not sure if that will work, but I think it is worth a try.

Glad you solved it.
