25 itemsAbout the Game
Manage your own grocery store and prove yourself as an entrepreneur in challenging times of the past.
In this simulator, you have the opportunity to build and run your own business from scratch. Order products, take care of the interior design, serve impatient customers, and deal with thieves. Grow your business, increase your reputation, and survive unpredictable events. Work day and night. You decide your store’s opening hours. Stock your shop with over 120 stylized products from various categories such as vegetables, fruits, meat, dairy, beverages, canned goods, spices, preserves, alcohol, sweets, and cleaning & hygiene products, available through purchasing 21 licenses. Remember that soaring inflation affects the rising prices of products and licenses, so making thoughtful investment decisions and managing your store’s pricing is crucial. Rapid growth and a wide assortment may attract thieves, but fortunately a local fixer can help you deal with them. The game also features special events that may seem challenging at first but, when used wisely, can bring significant profits such as floods or power plant failures.
ORDER PRODUCTS
Use the computer to order products and shelves, purchase licenses, take loans, and hire employees.
STOCK STORE
Collect ordered goods delivered by truck from the parking lot behind the store. Place them on shelves as quickly as possible so customers have access to all available products each morning.
SET PRICES
You decide the prices of products in your store. Rapid inflation means you will often need to increase prices to keep up with rising wholesale costs. Setting prices too high will discourage customers and negatively impact your reputation.
SERVE CUSTOMERS
Scan products, take payments, and give correct change as quickly as possible. Long queues can reduce your store’s reputation on the local market.
DECORATE INTERIOR
A local trader is always happy to help you improve your store’s appearance. They offer plaster for repairing walls, a variety of colorful paints, and tiles in many unique patterns.
TRY YOUR LUCK
High inflation, rapid expansion, or a lack of customers may leave you short on cash. In such cases, you can try your luck in the lottery and win the grand prize.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Survive unpredictable natural disasters and city events and try to turn them into profit.
