## What is FreshMart?

Take an empty corner lot and grow it into the busiest supermarket in town — one shelf, one checkout, one decision at a time.

FreshMart is a hands-on management game, not an idle tapper. Where you put a shelf decides how much it sells. A display facing the main aisle moves stock; the same display in a corner gathers dust. Tap any shelf to see exactly how visible it is, or switch on the traffic heatmap and watch where shoppers actually walk.

RUN A REAL SHOP
• Design the floor: aisles, endcaps, checkouts, and the queue that forms in front of them
• Eight departments, from produce sold by the kilo to frozen food that spoils overnight
• Order bulk stock into your backroom — cases are cheaper by the pallet, but cash tied up in inventory is cash you can’t spend
• Set prices against a drifting competitor, and run promotions when you need to move stock

BUILD UP AND OUT
• Add a second storey and connect it with stairs or an escalator — shoppers climb them and browse upstairs
• Open a clothing floor over the groceries: t-shirt shelves, rails, knitwear tables, mannequins, coats that sell all winter
• Pave the car park bay by bay. Cars turn in off the street, and a bigger lot lets a bigger crowd through the door
• The town lives around you — roads, neighbouring units, people on the pavement — and the seasons turn: rain, snow, autumn leaves, a heatwave in August

A CREW WORTH MANAGING
• Every hire has a name, a personality and a skill you can train — the Quick one flies through the queue, the Slacker works cheap
• Morale drops after a hard day of long lines. Pay a bonus, or watch them walk
• Cashiers, stockers, janitors and security, each with a job only they do well

THINGS GO WRONG
• Shoplifters skip the tills. Cameras and a guard on the floor are how you catch them
• Litter piles up and shoppers notice
• Heatwaves, supplier strikes, holiday rushes, pickpockets in the area, a farmers’ market that undercuts your produce, a bake-off next door

GROW, THEN FRANCHISE
• Eight levels of goals, each unlocking a system rather than a number
• A research tree of permanent upgrades: pallet racking, cold chain, modern tills, loyalty cards
• Franchise a finished store and it pays you every day, forever — then open your next location with a bigger grant

No timers, no energy bars, no fail state. Just a shop, and the decisions that make it work.

Free through level 3. One purchase opens the rest — no ads, no subscription, nothing to top up.

### 4/5 — Très bon jeu

*2026-09-09*

Bon jeu, mais quelques bugs sur l’extension du magasin, des piétons/bâtiments passent à travers les murs. Un peu dommage de rester que sur un étage ça serait bien de mettre un deuxième étage voir même un parking ça pourrait être cool. Le déplacement est parfois pas très intuitif. Mais le jeu reste addictif

**Developer response:** Merci pour le retour, et bonne nouvelle : les trois points sont dans la 1.3, qui vient de sortir.L'étage existe pour de vrai. Vous ajoutez un niveau, vous le reliez par un escalier ou un escalator, et les clients montent faire leurs courses là-haut avant de redescendre en caisse — avec un rayon textile à ouvrir au-dessus de l'épicerie. 

Le parking aussi, à goudronner place par place : ce sont les places qui plafonnent le nombre de clients que le magasin peut tenir, donc il sert à autre chose qu'à décorer. Les traversées de murs venaient de l'agrandissement : le magasin pouvait déborder sur la rue, et la rue continuait de se dessiner par-dessus. 

La 1.3 borne le terrain — plus de morceau de route sous le sol de vente, plus de bâtiment planté au milieu, et les clients contournent la vitrine au lieu de la traverser. S'il en reste un cas, dites-nous où, ça se corrige.

Le déplacement a été repris : un doigt déplace la vue, deux doigts la font tourner, la caméra ne saute plus quand vous levez un doigt en cours de route, et la colonne de droite passe de sept boutons à trois.
 
Merci d'y avoir passé assez de temps pour voir tout ça.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-09-12

Two fixes straight from the playtest reports.

• Extending your shop no longer plants a wall in the middle of the car park. Bays the building takes are cleared properly and handed back to you, and a car parked on one drives home instead of sitting in your aisle.

• Checkout queues are honest now. A shopper still walking to a till used to count as queueing and give up somewhere in the aisles, so a big store kept being told to open more checkouts for a queue that was never there. Patience is spent standing in line, where it belongs.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-11

The shop goes up a floor. There’s a car park outside it. And everyone in the aisles is new: sixteen characters, re-modelled and re-animated.

UPSTAIRS
• Build a second storey and connect it with stairs or an escalator — shoppers climb up, browse, and come back down to queue. From the street, the shop is a building now.
• Open a clothing floor above the groceries: rails, knitwear tables, coats that sell all winter, and mannequins downstairs to say what’s up there. Slow-moving, high-ticket, and nobody price-checks a coat.

THE CAR PARK
• Pave it bay by bay. A car turns in off the street, parks, and someone gets out of it.
• Bays are the ceiling on how big a crowd the shop can hold. When they’re what’s holding you back, the day summary says so, and how many bays you’re short.

SIXTEEN NEW FACES
• Eight shoppers, and a matched pair for each of the four jobs — every one a new model with new animation.
• Each job has its own uniform, so you can tell a cashier from a stocker across the floor.
• Everyone walks at their own pace. The elderly shopper dawdles, the stocker is brisk, the guard patrols slowly — a full shop looks like a crowd instead of one person copied twenty times.

THE BACK ROOM IS A PLACE NOW
• Put a stockroom on the floor and your stockers walk to it, pick stock up and carry it to the shelf, instead of stock appearing out of nowhere.
• A loading dock shortens delivery times, and the back room grows with the shop.

PRICES AND PROMOTIONS
• Every department has its own price sensitivity. Bread gets checked against the shop down the road every day; a T-shirt does not. So each department has its own best price now, and the season moves it.
• A promotion lifts demand and pulls shoppers toward that department, instead of just donating margin.

THE CREW
• The coffee kiosk is a break room. Crew rest there and morale comes back on a calm day, not only when you pay a bonus.

FRANCHISING KEEPS THE SHOP
• Franchise a finished store and you keep it: it gets its own save, you can go back and stand in it, and it pays you a share of its daily profit for good. It no longer costs you the store.

FIXED
• No more strips of road showing through the shop floor
• The car park is one continuous surface instead of a patchwork of bays
• Shoppers and crew walk instead of gliding
• The camera no longer jumps when you lift a finger mid-pan, and the column down the right edge is three buttons instead of seven
• Closing time empties the shop — yesterday’s shoppers are no longer standing in the aisles this morning
• The daily challenge no longer asks for 15% more than yesterday, every day, forever

### 1.2 — 2026-09-03

Your playtest feedback, built in:
• Try a repaint before you pay — nothing is charged until you confirm.
• Panels are narrower and fold away; pan the camera with two fingers.
• Tap the star to see exactly what moved your rating, and the season to see what sells this week and what's coming.
• Prices shows the local market price and a 7-day trend; a new Demand tab shows which departments shoppers want.
• Hiring: choose between three applicants instead of a random hire.
• Cameras and bins show their reach when you place them.
• Levels 5–8 unlock sweets, wine, an apéritif corner, a bulk aisle, fine foods and a café kiosk. Self-checkouts have their own machine.
• Rent now says how many tiles it covers.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-02

After your first level-up, FreshMart now asks what you think of the game. A rating helps other shopkeepers find it. Thank you for playing!

### 1.0 — 2026-08-27
