Can I use retails lots to visit without a sim owning them?

I would like to set up a few retail lots in my savefile for my sims to visit. I would like to have a bridal store and a potions shop. Is it possible to have these functional, as in have my sims actually buy stuff there without having to play the owner of the store? How do I set this up to function properly?

Yes it is:
- build retail store
- have a sim buy it and set on sale what you want to be sold
- sell the store

you can also hire the workers and set their outfits before selling it, but you need retail points for that so you either gotta cheat or actually play the retail part + you have to make sure you get the max amount of workers, cause once you sell the store it will automatically get the max amount and any workers not being there before selling will not have the assigned outfit.

OK. Thanks. I guess I'll have to look for a cheat to get retail points to set up everything. I didn't know I could pick their outfits. I will definitely do so.
