Keeping shelves full
Tips
Inventory management is the core skill in this game. Customers cannot buy what is not there, and every gap on a shelf is money you are not making.
- Go on a grocery run before your shelves are completely empty, not after.
- Return from every run and place stock immediately rather than holding it.
- A fully stocked store lets you serve customers without interruption and builds revenue faster.
Redeem codes
CheckThe game currently has three working codes. Enter them in the in-game input screen.
- Type each code exactly wrong capitalization will cause it to fail.
- If a code does not work, treat it as expired rather than keep retrying.
- Check the game's official social media and Discord for new codes when they are announced.
