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 Heartfelt Relationships (or make lifelong enemies): Don’t neglect customer relations! Outside of store hours, you are free to explore the town and get to know its quirky residents. Build relationships with everyone in town and unravel the mystery of Blomkest’s past.

Following a call from your not-so-distant Aunt Tellar, you find yourself in Blomkest, a once-thriving run-down harbor town with a dwindling population. Your job? To help her revive the local Discounty branch as the shopkeeper and grow it into a business empire!

Aunt Tellar may have forgotten to mention that you’ll be living in an old garage…but you’ll get used to it.

The customer is always right, right?… Ensuring customers’ favourite stock is out on the shop floor and manually ring up items as quickly as you can! If you let the line get too long, your customers might start to get impatient or even leave. Keeping customer satisfaction is the most important thing to a shopkeeper!

While Blomkestians may have their reservations about newcomers, the town still thrives with numerous local producers and manufacturers. Earning their trust, crafting fair trade agreements, and promoting the sale of homegrown treasures will not only enrich your profits but also your bond within this close-knit community.

Beyond the store’s regular hours, you’re invited to discover the town’s delightful quirks and befriend its charming residents. Building relationships with each soul in this town isn’t just about business; it’s an opportunity to uncover the enchanting mysteries of Blomkest’s past. Although, not all of your fellow villagers want you to succeed. Turns out, not everyone loves ever-expanding, never-enough, cold-hearted, money-crazed capitalism. He-he.
