What is Main: Store Simulator

Run your own shop, keep the shelves stocked, and watch your profits grow in this arcade-style retail adventure. It’s all about juggling customer needs while making smart upgrades.

How to Play

Use your mouse or touch to pick up items from the storage area and place them on store shelves, then head to the register to ring up customers. Manage your inventory, set prices, and use the earnings to buy upgrades that improve your store's efficiency and appeal.

Tips for Playing

Keep the most popular items within easy reach to speed up restocking during busy periods.
Invest in shelf upgrades early; they pay off by reducing the time needed to refill products.
Watch customer reactions to adjust your pricing—too high sends them away, too low cuts into profits.
Prioritize restocking empty shelves immediately; missing sales can hurt your daily earnings.
Don't ignore the checkout area—a faster register means more customers served in less time.
