About the Game

Suburban Manager invites you to experience a hardcore, realistic business simulation journey. Say goodbye to the constraints of linear levels and manage a supermarket that truly belongs to you.

Armed with a realistic startup capital of 500,000, you will take charge of every business decision. From freely selecting a site in the full 3D sandbox to managing complex logistics, personnel, and finances, every choice determines the survival and long-term development of your store.

Whether you are meticulously calculating based on a realistic salary model or steadily expanding the surrounding supply chain, you can cultivate this suburban area at your own pace, managing a corner store into a thriving, well-organized business.

Trade Area Survey

Utilize professional population and trade area analysis tools within the sandbox to find the ideal store location on the full 3D macro map. Combine dynamic weather and foot traffic forecasts to rationally assess the rent and customer potential of each vacant shop, taking a solid first step on your entrepreneurial path.

Storefront Selection

In the full 3D suburban sandbox, you can intuitively browse various vacant storefronts available for lease across the large map. From narrow corner shops to spacious warehouse-style superstores, these storefronts feature different architectural styles and floor areas. You need to select a preferred location as your entrepreneurial base according to your current financial status and future business plans.

Supply Management

Simulate a smartphone terminal where apps directly connect you to major suppliers, giving you control over the procurement channels for hundreds of realistic goods. Carefully weigh procurement costs against logistics timeliness, ensuring a continuous supply of goods amidst dynamic business negotiations to build a stable and healthy supply chain.

Warehousing & Stocking

Experience the detailed process of merchandise circulation. Reasonably recruit and dispatch employees to orderly transfer mountains of goods from the backroom warehouse to the storefront, properly categorize and display them on shelves, and ensure every customer can quickly find what they need.

Efficient Checkout

Witness the core process of cash flow return in daily operations. Handle realistic checkout and settlement processes, calmly dealing with the morning and evening foot traffic rush hours. You can also hire professional staff and handle hardcore personnel bills—which include net salary and the mandatory "Five Insurances" deductions—to maintain the smooth operation of your store.
