Have you played Fiz? It's a great little brewery-management game. It's in more or less the same vein as Game Dev Tycoon, but beer-themed! I enjoyed it for two play-throughs.
Kairosoft makes business games, although they can be a little hit and miss. Personally, I prefer the older titles.
I think my personal favourite business sim game is Fiz: Brewery Management Game. You brew and sell beer, but there's quests and stuff to keep it interesting while you do it.
Hey, you might like Fiz. It had a feel similar to the old good Kairosoft games. There's no awful stamina system, no IAP, no ads.
One of my favorite games is Fiz. It's a brewery management game. You learn recipes make different beers and sell it. You have to time the markets right for the best profits, keep beer in reserve to sell at high times ECT. Really just a fun game overall.

Incase that didn't work here it is Fiz
Fiz Brewery Management on Android (made by a Reddit user).
Capitalism 2 on PC - or Capitalism Lab which I think is the same as 2 with a few more features. But that's more about stock control not designing the store, managing staff.

Have you tried 'Fiz'? It's available on Android. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated in a long time and the second playthrough is rather similar to the first, but I still had quite a bit of fun with it.
Not your ideal theme, but Fiz and Game Dev Tycoon play very similarly to classic Kairosoft games. Both are premium games, no ads and no IAPs.
No IAP, but one of the best Kairosoft-type games I've found out there is Fiz, which is a brewery management sim. Particularly enjoyable if you like beer. :) It's premium though - runs about $3.

+1 and Fiz is a pretty decent tycoon game with the same concept

One of the best mobile management games out there, with a compelling story arc, fun mechanics, and quite a lot of play time. Highly recommend it even if you're not into brewing.
The 8 bit aesthetic is good fun too, really well done.
Fiz ! A brewery management game.

Neither retention nor revenue seem like good indicators for me. These are very unrelated to what I'm looking for in a game.
Some games are excellent but, once completed, don't warrant more playtime. A good example is Fiz.
And some games are cheap yet great, meaning the max revenue can't get very high.
To me, the best indicator is : "considering this game is in this style, do other people who like the same games as me in this style also like this game ?"

I second the recommendation for Kairiosoft games too.
I've seen this, waiting on google survey money to get it though.

Kairosoft's older games are a little dated, but very good. Game Dev Story, Dungeon Village, Ninja Village, Epic Astro Story, and some of the variants are all fun and have a "lite" version that lets you try the games out before you buy one. I'm not a fan of their newer games which have pretty aggressive IAP. Fiz is a similar style game from another company. Another is A Story of a Band, which has a free demo. There's also Middle Manager of Justice, which has IAP, but it wasn't necessary to buy anything to play the game.
Taking only a few minutes per level, the Kingdom Rush tower defense games from Ironhide Studios are quite good. Another tower defense style game that I really liked is Tiny Guardians. The Kingdom Rush and Tiny Guardians games have IAP to unlock extra heroes and other things, but it is necessary to enjoy the games.
If you wanted to play a RPG, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale have been ported from PC. Both series are really good, classic RPGs, but are a higher price. There's also Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Dragonfall.
Another series of games you can just pause at any time and come back is The Room (second and third). I really enjoyed these.
Puzzle games with progression, 10,000,000 and You Must Build a Boat are fun.
If you like Roguelikes, Pixel Dungeon and its spin offs are great. This is completely free, the IAP is just if you wanted to basically donate to the dev.
Ok, hopefully you like something in all of those...

Fiz looks like a Kairosoft game.
So does A Story of a Band, which has a demo you can try.
One that is different from the Kairosoft games that you might like is Star Traders. There's a free version you can try out and see if you like it.
Fiz, The brewery management game. Man that game is awesome. I have 20 hours on it, it's fucking addictive.

I really enjoyed Fiz when I played through it a few years back. Totally worth the $3, IMHO.
Probably not Fiz?

There's a whole bunch of business management games out there. I really enjoyed Fiz. Game Dev Tycoon was pretty good. A lot of people like the similar Game Dev Story.
I played Shop Heroes for a while a few years back, but it's pretty F2P and I wouldn't recommend it.

You may like Fiz if you enjoyed the Kairosoft games that you mentioned in another comment. It has some features that are very similar. You run a small brewery. There is kind of a story/campaign that you play through. Premium purchase. No IAPs, no ads, no timers/stamina limiting gameplay time.
Another, RollerCoaster Tycoon. Port of the original, classic game. Lots of management and building. Premium purchase, no ads, no timer/stamina, the IAPs are for three completely optional expansions. This is the one labeled "classic" and is the one you want. Avoid the one that is called "RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile."
Finally, Star Traders heavily features economics like trading, buying high and selling low, gathering materials, etc. You can go a bunch of routes like being a merchant, explorer, spy, etc. Combat is turn based if you'd like to be a pirate or military officer. Premium purchase, no ads, no timers/stamina, IAPs are optional and just unlock stuff faster that you get by playing normally - I didn't feel that they were needed.
There is also a free demo available. It is limited with a much smaller area of space to explore, but it will give you a decent idea of the game. Has an IAP option to unlock full game.
Fiz: Brewery Management Game Got it on a deal for $1. No IAP and good gameplay!
In response to the bit about Kairosoft, Fiz looks like a Kairosoft game.
