Can a single VM3 website be suitable for multiple shops?

We have a client who wants to open new shops. They already have a website but can a VM3 website be made to suit multiple shops?

When the admin order confirmation e-mail arrives in the inbox, we resize it and print it with macros in Outlook and Word.

So they have a parent site which links to the VM website we manage. However what they want is when the "shop" link is clicked, the user can then write their postcode and it sends them to the relevant section on the website based on their postcode. I imagine that would be done with a PHP IF statement, but I'm not sure if VM is built to suit this all on one website. They do not want multiple websites, they want this to be done all on one website. So their current website should be able to send orders to multiple shops (multiple e-mail addresses).

Does this make sense? Can it be done?
