Restaurants are run by NPCs just after finishing the building. Shops however must be bought by someone, even if you don't play them actively.
Shops can be used without an owner. You need an owner to set up the lot and specifically set the items for sale. Once that is done you can sell it again and it will stay functional for sims to visit, even without an owner. The items your sims have bought will be back next time you visit the lot.
