What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
Allow Administrators and/or Moderators to create personal shops that are linked to a chest.Please provide any additional information below.
It would be useful if an Administrator were able to make the personal shops, but do it under the name of somebody else. This could be used for one-time purchases (premiums) or for areas near spawn that only an Administrator can modify. The shop would be set up by an Administrator, but the shop would be kept in stock and maintained by the user whose name it was under (similar to how lockette and deadbolt allow staff to make a sign with someone else's name).Alternatively, you could just add the ability to transfer ownership of a villager shop to a different player.It would likely go something like this:

1. Player spawns villager shop like normal
2. Player sets up villager chest
3. Player types something like "/shopkeeer transfer [Name]"
4. Player Shift+Right Clicks on villager to tell the plugin what villager he wishes to transfer
5. Possibly a confirmation command like "shopkeeper transfer [name] confirm/deny" (in the instance the player selects the wrong one)

Why not just have that player create the shop in the first place? Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to arrange.

Some servers have a very complicated spawn setup, and there are multiple factors to account for such as mob spawning (often is turned off, which disables villager eggs), and build permissions.
You are right, some servers it's pretty easy to temporarily give someone build permission under the supervision of an administrator (such as if they are only using a WG region to deny build perms), but on some servers, only OPs are granted permission to build (or you have to give them op-esque power to be able to build), such as a server that uses Factions (you would have to get administrative privileges to build in the spawn region).
It'd also be nice because you could pre-configure villagers and chests, then transfer ownership as you see fit (think a mall-type setting).
