Game pageSupermarket Simulator: the pleasure of filling your shelves
It resembles work, yet players want to stay a little longer. Reviews find pleasure in stocking, pricing and keeping the shop running. It suits the wish to operate a familiar everyday place yourself.
Players value growing a small shop, but reviews also describe later restocking as monotonous. The deciding question is whether daily hands-on work appeals as much as expansion.
What makes it fun
The satisfaction of stocking shelves
Put the goods you ordered on the shelves yourself and fill the gaps. Seeing the results on the shop floor makes it tempting to tend the store again.
Work the register yourself
Scan items at checkout and count out change when a customer pays cash. Ringing up each customer is an enjoyable part of the store routine.
Watch your store grow
Put your earnings toward new product licenses or more floor space. Choose what to add, then see the store change as you order and stock its shelves.
