I use retail stores for storytelling purposes only. Yard sales make more money, so depends on what I'm playing at in my game. My rags to riches Sim, who is homeless will use yard sales to sell his goods, whereas my legacy family who had a flower retail shop in Gen 2 and has passed it down through 7 generations so far, that it's sentimental to keep. I barely use the retail store functionality....but mainly storytelling purposes.
I also think that for me, having two highly intelligent and well educated "hippies" (aka anti-corporate, pro environment) Sims it is just not fitting to own any kind of business. A yard sale fits their theme perfectly.
