Supermarket Simulator
Dive into the day-to-day operations of a neighborhood grocery shop. Your morning starts with checking inventory, ordering goods from suppliers, and carefully placing every item where shoppers expect to find it. As customers stream in, you handle transactions at the register, juggling speed and accuracy to keep queues moving. The rhythm of opening, serving, and closing quickly becomes a satisfying routine that rewards attention to detail. Beyond the counter, your choices shape the store's future. Reinvest earnings into better shelving, wider aisles, or a fresh produce section to attract more discerning shoppers. Watch your budget closely—overstocking and underpricing your goods can quickly drain your funds. With each successful day, you unlock new products and upgrades, turning a modest shop into a bustling local hub. It's a test of planning, patience, and people skills, all wrapped in a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I restock shelves?
Take items from the delivery boxes and place them on the corresponding shelf by dragging them with your mouse.
What happens if I run out of money?
If your bank balance reaches zero, you can't place new orders. You'll need to serve customers with what's left to earn more cash.
Can I change the store layout?
Yes, you can move furniture and shelves to redesign your store layout, but only after you've unlocked certain upgrades.
Why aren't customers buying certain items?
Items not on shelves are unattainable. Ensure everything is visible and within reach; also check if demand for that product is low.
Is there a time limit to complete tasks?
No strict time limit exists. You work at your own pace, but customers get impatient if you take too long at the register.
How do I unlock new products?
New products become available as your store level rises, which happens by selling more items and increasing daily revenue.
