• Tip #1:
  Time doesn’t start until you open your store, so take as long as you need to prepare.
• Tip #2:
  Ending the day when the customers haven’t all checkout will cause you to lose the customer before they can pay.
• Tip #3:
  Turning off lights increases the number of customers and saves on electricity bills
• Tip #4:
  Shipping fees are $2 for 1–3 items, $4 for 4-6 items, and $8 for 7-10 items.
• Tip #5:
  Online ordering is closed at 9pm, but the physical stores are still open.
• Tip #6:
  Buying from local stores on the map saves 50% on supply costs.
• Tip #7:
  Self checkouts are better than cashiers for regular checkouts. Hire a customer helper instead to manage multiple self checkouts.
• Tip #8:
  Mirrored self checkouts is better than the regular self checkouts space-wise as you can overlap them.
• Tip #9:
  Shoplifters don’t carry brown paper bags and will look around suspiciously before taking an item.
• Tip #10:
  Guards only work in conjunction with either the antenna or security camera.
• Tip #11:
  Antenna ($350) will always catch shoplifters as they leave, but the security camera ($500) will mark shoplifters as soon as they steal, allowing guards to stop them earlier and keep products on the shelves.
• Tip #12:
  Loans have repayment fees as soon as you take them out, avoid them as much as you can.
• Tip #13:
  Increasing the duration of the loan reduces daily payments, but increases the overall interest you will pay.
• Tip #14:
  Set prices 5-7% above market price for minimal complaints. Customers complaints will prevent them from buying the product, losing more money overall than the few cents you can gain.
• Tip #15:
  Dirtiness will not affect your customers until your store gets really dirty. No need to fuss cleaning after every mess.
• Tip #16:
  Popularity of items will wildly shift from day to day, generally stocking 20 of an items will be enough for the day.
• Tip #17:
  Produce needs stalls and scale. The scale is always the last place a customer will go before checkout. Place the scale near your checkouts and hire a customer helper (can help with both scales and self checkout)
• Tip #18:
  Produce are measured in weights and have great profits. Generally two stall spaces per produce is enough for 1 day.
• Tip #19:
  Restockers will prioritize shelves that are 50% empty. You can edit their permissions in the hiring page. Turn off ‘use unlabeled racks’ to keep your storage organized if you want to manually organize your storage
• Tip #20:
  Boxes of products comes in 4 sizes: Large (1 per rack space) [Cube], Medium (2 per rack space) [Cube, Square], Small (6 per rack space) [Rectangle], Very Small (18 per rack space) [Cube].
• Tip #21:
  Do not answer wholesale offers always give you a good deal based on your store price.
• Tip #22
  The best way to increase income is to buy more licenses, prioritize increasing variety of goods and only expand when necessary.
• Tip #23:
  More licenses increase the number of goods each customer buys. Use discounts to attract more customers.
• Tip #24:
  You can fit at least 106 racks in your storage room. Remember to move your computer in there too to free up space in the supermarket.

If you’re aiming for a neat and well-organized storage space, this section is for you.

Along the left wall—shared between your supermarket and the storage area—you can fit 10 racks: 2 racks before the stairs and 8 racks after the stairs.

In the main area of the storage room, you can arrange 12 rows of racks, with each row consisting of 8 racks placed back-to-back, allowing for a total of 96 racks. Combined with the 10 racks along the wall, you can accommodate a total of 106 racks in the storage space.
