Why would the front need to be wheel chair access at all? People in wheelchairs don't need to worry about falling or balance or their hips hurting from walking too far.

There should be a part of an entire aisle dedicated to wheel-chair only access, with a sidewalk up the whole aisle where people front in. That way they get out of the car, into their transport chairs (or down their lift if it's a handivan), wheel onto the sidewalk in front of their vehicle, and not worry about traffic until they get to the end of the sidewalk in front of the store(s).

It's the people who can still walk, but need assistance, who need those closer spaces.
