Note
The -s form carries every meaning of the verb, not only the shopkeeper's. A store retails goods to customers, but a neighbor who retails rumors is repeating and spreading news to others. An archaic use, selling secondhand or in broken parts, also sits behind the same spelling. It pairs with a singular subject: the shop retails, but the shops retail.
