When you need to use commas in each list item, you use semicolons to separate the list items. Otherwise, it would be much more confusing, turning into something more like this: "Businesses in Ponyville include: the Sugarcube Corner confectionary, a restaurant, which the name isn't mentioned, with a very proper waiter pony, Rarity's custom dress shop, the Carousel Boutique, an herb shop operated by a pony called Daisy, a joke shop, and a bath/spa." The rule is though that if you use semicolons in this fashion, you need to use them in the same way throughout the list. As long as it is one sentence, it's the way to keep things organized.
