Grow a Supermarket

In Grow a Supermarket, you run a tiny grocery store with $10 in your pocket, one checkout counter, and a single shelf of soft drinks. The goal is to turn that corner shop into a sprawling “Mega Mart” with several floors, different departments, and even branches in other locations.

How to play Grow a Supermarket

Getting started

Everything begins with stock. Grab crates, carry them to the right shelves, and fill them up. Customers can only buy what’s on display, so an empty shelf means lost money. At first you’ll also work the register yourself, scanning each item and handing back change. Once you’ve saved up, you can buy self-checkout kiosks and let shoppers pay without you.

Growing the store

Leveling up opens new parts of the map:

• Level 3: the “Fresh” section for produce and perishables.
• Level 7: the eastern wing, which adds more floor space.
• Level 8: an upper floor for snacks, packaged food, drinks, household goods, personal care, pet supplies, and toys.
• Level 14: the option to open a second store at another location.

Making it yours

You aren’t limited to sales numbers. Shelves come in colors like oak, white, cherry red, mint green, and yellow, and you can repaint the walls, swap the flooring, and place decorations. After each upgrade, walk outside and look at the storefront. Small layout tweaks add up and give the shop its own character.

Daily rewards

Logging in each day pays off with double XP bonuses, a 30-day gift calendar, and limited-time events. If you get stuck, the game suggests tasks to point you toward your next step.

Running the business

• Managing the store involves a few regular jobs:
  
  Ordering: Use the office computer to pick products and send orders to suppliers.
• Receiving deliveries: Meet the truck, unload the crates, and carry them to the right sections.
• Pricing: Set prices with the price gun. Cheaper items draw more shoppers, while higher prices earn more per sale.
• Product upgrades: Move items from “Basic” to “Gourmet” to widen your selection.
• Staff: As the store gets busier, hire employees to take over some of the work.
