Hi! I'm not an English native speaker, but I think that you should not use a verb tense in third person in order to mantain formal coherence.
Personally, my two pence go to "retail", since it is a noun, though I understand that "retail" is a special type of commercial activity. But, if you have to use a verb to avoid ambiguity, what about "selling"? The -ing form of verbs is, as far as I know, equivalent to a noun.
