About

Corner Store Tycoon

Features
Read full description

A corner store is not a supermarket. No second register, nobody in the stockroom, and the queue does not wait. Corner Store Tycoon is a convenience store simulator for one person behind the counter: order stock, fill the shelves, work the register as cashier, check IDs, all before the next customer loses patience. No subscription, no ads, no account. Ten days free, then a single purchase. Wait too long and they leave. Find nothing and they never come back. WHAT YOU ARE IN FOR • A day takes minutes and consists of many small decisions. Reorder now, or save the money for the cooler. Put in the machine, or widen the shelf first. Raise a price and watch who stays anyway. • Ordering is a skill. Too little means an empty shelf, too much means stock that spoils. Freshness runs out, deposits come back, and both land in the same register. • Customers have minds of their own. Weather, time of day and weekday decide who walks in and what they ask for. The evening rush looks nothing like Sunday morning. • Age restricted goods mean checking ID. Get sloppy and the inspector will cost you. • Build out the kiosk: shelves, cooler, vending machines, more floor space. A small business tycoon game with a real cash count at the end of every day. SIX SHOPS, SIX COUNTRIES Späti in Berlin, Trafik in Vienna, Bar in Italy, Bakkal in Turkey, Konbini in Tokyo, Corner Store in the USA. Each convenience store with its own range, its own prices and its own crowd. The shop follows your device language. WHO IT IS FOR For anyone who likes supermarket simulators, cashier games or retail management sims but would rather run one small store than a chain. Not an idle game: every shift is played by hand, offline, with no timers. NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION, ONE PURCHASE The first ten days are free. If the shop still appeals to you then, a single purchase unlocks the rest. No subscriptions, no ads, no coins, no waiting timers to buy your way out of. HONESTLY No account, no sign up, no ads, no subscription, no tracking. The game plays offline and your save stays on your device. The app only goes online for the purchase: at launch, when buying and when restoring, it checks through Apple and the service provider RevenueCat whether the full version is unlocked, using a random anonymous ID instead of your name. It sends a problem report only when you tap send yourself.
