Can anyone clarify if there is a way to remove just one type of Retail Store, such as Apparel Store, using scripts?

I've found success using the [LOCKS] script to remove an entire category:

[LOCKS]
Firm, Retail Stores

I am building a Mod that is limited to specific types of retail stores and would like to remove unnecessary stores if possible. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Ok. So I got confirmation that the [Locks] script is limited to the entire category and cannot be used to remove a single type of retail firm. It's an all or nothing approach. Of course - you can add additional retail buildings through modding the buildings.dbf.

rather than remove all the unused stores, why not copy the settings from some of the stores you are using, that would give a bit more variety as you could have multiple stores that sell the same product type ?

My initial goal was to eliminate retail store types for a mod I'm working on that doesn't include several product categories represented in the retail store types. I am adding new retail store types and was hoping to use the Locks script to clean up the interface - I intend to eventually share the mod a didn't want to confuse players by having retail firms available that don't have goods to sell.

I've since found another solution through using the Text Translate function were I can effectively mod the existing firm types into new types by changing the name. It's not a perfect solution but gets the job done.
