## What is Thrift Store Story?

Become the manager of a pre-loved goods store (yup, that's just a fancy name for second-hand!) and turn it into a prospering business!

There are many towns for you to operate in, each with a unique customer base and different products for you to discover. You can guess what you'll find in Trendy Town or Totaltoys District, for example!

The product line-up at your store is up to you, of course. Will you be selling model toys, video games, classy suits, cars, plasma TVs, or diamonds? That's the fun in the second-hand retail industry -- you sell all sorts of goods, cherry-picked from a variety of available pre-owned products.

Your store also offers a gift-wrapping service which does wonders for boosting customer satisfaction.

Besides store shelves, you can also have stalls selling donuts or ice-cream, a gaming corner or toy vending machine. They'll draw in more customers, and once your store becomes really popular, even whole groups of kids or curious tourists.

Your field staff are in charge of collecting goods for sale. They'll sometimes come across what looks like real treasure, but you'll have to appraise it first to see what it's actually worth. You may discover some amazing items this way, which will bring fame to your store!

Fully exploring every town and finding all available products is a real challenge... Are you up for it?

### 1/5 — これは…

*2026-04-25*

つまらない。100円の価値も感じません。

### 1/5 — やられた‥

*2024-09-15*

評価見てから買えばよかった。カイロってたけで買っちゃった

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2021-06-16*

Tons of clothing to sell lots of shops to unlock and amazing story! It’s worth getting it’s not boring at all!

### 5/5 — Good and EASY

*2021-06-07*

I love Kairosoft but sometimes I can’t understand everything in them. This game is like a typical Kairo game but SO much easier. A great introduction to their more complicated games. Give it a try! I had fun playing it on a lazy Sunday and you will too.

### 3/5 — A bit boring

*2020-08-15, version 1.06*

Not the most fun game.

### 4/5 — A More Mature Game

*2019-05-22*

Don’t let some of the more negative reviews fool you: this game really isn’t that bad. It’s just more focused on points and numbers rather than customization. If you want a chill game that focuses on item inventory and general foods, this is it.

The game, like most of Kairosoft games, is a little slow to pick up at first. But my tip is to read the “Help” section! Always read it before playing! It explains so much and you’ll figure out how to play and what matters and why. After that, it’s pretty simple and fun. It’s satisfying leveling up groups of items and adjusting your inventory. Exploring new towns and finding new items is also fun too.

There is not a lot of customization in this game. It is similar to Pocket Clothier in the sense that you can put shelves, but only in specific places and you can’t determine what goes where. Similar to a real thrift store, things are just placed where there is space. This doesn’t take away from the fun of the game though. The camera doesn’t move as well, which seems annoying when you have a small store but it is helpful when you expand to a larger store.

For the price, it’s a pretty fun game. A more “mature” game, considering it’s focus is more on inventory and profits, but enjoyable if you like management sims. If you’re looking for a fully customizable shop game where you can pick the wallpaper, look elsewhere though. 4/5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2019-04-13*

This is actually a great one! simpler system, but requires more techniques to play well. The simulated rules of a store are much more real. I played most of their games and love this one too.

### 2/5 — Don't bother

*2019-03-24*

This is the worst game this company have made. I have purchased most of there games, with I hadn't have bothered with this one.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2019-01-15*

I usually love kairosoft games and I noticed this one was newer and it looked promising. What a waste of money. Watching people buy stuff, you can’t really do anything with all the money you get but move to different shops and they all look the same. Super boring. Played for about a day to see if anything new happened. Nothing. I want my money back.

### 2/5 — เสียใจ

*2018-12-20, version 1.06*

ค่ายนี้เกมฟรียังสนุก รักค่ายนี้มาก ซื้อเกิน50%ของเกมที่เขามีภาษาอังกฤษ อ่านหลายเม้นท์แล้วยังไม่เขื่อ อยากเล่น น่าสนใจ แต่พอเล่นแล้วก็เสียดายเงินเลย ไม่มีสอนเล่นอะไรเลย เปลี่ยนรูปแบบใหม่พอเข้าใจ แต่ไม่บอกอะไรเลย  เข้าเกมมาก็ไม่มีอะไรทำแล้ว ไม่สนุกจริงๆ คิดซะว่าซื้อเพื่อสนับสนุนค่ายอย่างเดียวแล้วกัน รอเกมส์ใหม่เสมอ
