Then you have an upgraded site with the old customers, products, and orders and a new template in your "work" directory and still have a working store. Adjust as required, then move the "work" to the store when complete.
Consider loosing the /store and letting ZC handle it all in the root of the site. Good time to accomplish this if you're doing a complete renovation. The customer shouldn't need to go one place for info and another to shop. Especially with the template capabilities of Zen Cart.
