Retail Business + Selling Retail Lot

Is there a way to sell the retail lot? I've tried for ages to run a business, but I just can't seem to get it. I barely make any profit, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, so I want to sell the thing, but I can't figure out how. Any ideas?

Also, is anyone succeeding with retail? I'm finding it a little finicky. Trying to run a bakery is a no-go; you barely make anything, and Sims aren't heaps interested in my baked goods. Trying to run a store is difficult too; Sims seem to only want a couple of random items (a particular lamp and chair), ignoring everything else. I tried stocking my store in the lamp, but the Sims ignore everything that isn't on one certain counter. I have zero idea what's going on here.

    I'm with you Zorna. I bought a bakery and ran it for awhile. Found it strange my sim couldn't check people out with the register but only with a hand tablet. I think they need to go back and fix some things. To sell a lot I found you go to the business town, Magnolia and click on the lot. There is a tag to sell it there.

    Hello.
    This is a link to a guide to running a retail business. There are four parts to the guide. It may be helpful for you.

    When you travel to your retail lot all you need to do is click on the cash register and choose sell store.

    There is also a button on the retail management tab on the bottom right to sell the lot.

    You got to sell expensive stuff, or best seller books or masterpiece art work...

    If you're not too finicky about in-game ethics, the best way to run a successful business is to sell items a kleptomaniac sim has stolen - especially good once they can steal expensive stuff like the Knight of the Octagon Table suit of armor ;-)

    (btw I actually don't normally do this kind of thing, but I played the Vampires Cursed! challenge, which requires you to play a klepto as one of your sims, and they can only make money through kleptomania and asking for loans. That's how I figured this out)
