Growing the shop in the right order

How to spend on growth in Supermarket Simulator when the shop level, the upgrades and the storage each move on a track of their own.

Applies to

1.6.0 (223), read from the copy of the game this site was built from (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A shop trading well enough to spend on
• Some stock already in the back room
• An idea of what is actually limiting you today

Steps

1. Work out whether the limit is shelf space or back-room space before buying anything.
   storage has an upgrade level of its own, separate from the shop's
2. Buy storage when you are turning stock away, not when a shelf is merely untidy.
   storage has to be purchased rather than arriving with the shop
3. Read the upgrade figure as the next step rather than as where you already are.
   the upgrade level and its cost are tracked apart from the current level
4. Check what you have already bought instead of paying for it twice.
   the game marks purchases you have already made
5. Spend on growth before you spend on how the shop looks.
   the shop's level is tracked separately from its appearance

Common mistakes

• Buying decoration while the back room is overflowing.
• Assuming storage grows by itself as the shop levels up.
• Buying a licence that is already marked as bought.
