Supermarket Manager puts you in charge of a store you grow from the ground up. Starting with empty shelves and no staff, you purchase shelving units, stock them yourself, and serve customers to generate your first profits. As earnings accumulate, you invest in hiring stockers and cashiers, improve the quality of the products you sell, and expand into more expensive shelves stocked with a wider variety of goods. The goal is to build the supermarket of your dreams by steadily reinvesting every dollar the store earns.
Progress in Supermarket Manager follows a clear loop of stocking, serving, and reinvesting. To purchase a shelf or a cash register, move your character to the corresponding marked area on the game field. Stocking a shelf is a two-step process: first load products from the warehouse, then carry them to the appropriate shelf. In the warehouse area, a computer opens the store management menu, where you are able to improve product quality or hire staff. Serving customers and improving product quality both drive profits upward, letting you invest in more expensive shelves and a broader range of goods.
