- Build & Expand Your Dream Shop: Rearrange shelves and products to create an inviting atmosphere where customer satisfaction is guaranteed! Design aisles thoughtfully to guide an array of shoppers to their unique needs. As profits grow, so can your store as you reinvest to build upon your shop! Be warned: too much growth might upset your fellow villagers
- The Customer Is Always Right: Balance the many chaotic tasks of a shopkeeper... ensure shelves are stocked, floors gleam and the storage room exudes perfect order and tidiness! Each visitor arrives with their own shopping list and distinct preferences (not everyone is the easiest to deal with...). It's your heartfelt duty to ensure every shopper leaves with a smile!

Build relationships with everyone in town and unravel the mystery of Blomkest’s past. Plus, making a few friends can’t be bad for business…Although, not all of your fellow villagers want you to succeed. Turns out, selling frozen fries isn’t going to heal the town on its own.
