I would like to hope that someone's small business is going well.
I know if someone's business is going well they can say:
「店は繁盛している」
but, how can I say "I hope your store is prosperous/I hope business is going well"

Maybe, just add 願う 'hope' or 祈る 'pray'.
お店の繁盛を願っています/祈っています

1@Flaw That is ungrammatical. You can say 繁盛しますように.– user458Commented Feb 12, 2012 at 9:02

The ungrammaticality is also reflected in English as using でありますように would mean "to be prosperity(noun)" as opposed to "to prosper(verb)". Is this a correct analysis? (I'm trying to understand why it's not grammatical)– Flaw ♦Commented Feb 12, 2012 at 11:53

1@Flaw It is close to that, but parallel with English is not always reliable. Often, corresponding concepts belong to different categories (e.g., 好き: na-adjective vs. like: verb). 繁盛 is not a na-adjective, and is a suru-noun.– user458Commented Feb 12, 2012 at 13:54
