Your First Days in Supermarket Simulator

  1. Your first days as a store owner: order products on the in-game computer, unpack boxes in the storage room, stock shelves, fridges and freezers, and keep the checkout line moving with cash and card payments.
  2. Market prices change in real time. Buy when prices dip, set selling prices that keep customers happy and margins healthy, and shop at local markets around town to skip delivery fees.
  3. Choose where every product goes, plan your aisles for smooth shopping, then put your profits into more floor space, interior upgrades, new floors, wall paint and category signs.
  4. Hire staff to share the work, protect your stock with cameras, alarm sensors and security guards, and invite up to four friends to run the store together in real time.

What is Supermarket Simulator?

Supermarket Simulator is a chill first-person simulation from Nokta Games where you run a supermarket hands-on. You design the layout, order and unpack stock, scan items at the register, and handle cash and credit card payments yourself.

As the store grows, you balance profit against customer satisfaction in a live market, expand and decorate the shop, pack and deliver online orders, keep the floors and windows clean, and deal with shoplifters. You can do all of it solo or with up to four friends in online co-op.

Supermarket Simulator Beginner Guide

New store owner? This is the main daily loop that turns a small corner shop into a busy supermarket. Get these steps right in the first few days and your profits will keep growing.

  1. 1

    Order your first stock from the in-game computer. Match it to the shelves, fridges and freezers you already own.

  2. 2

    Unpack the delivered boxes, sort them in your storage room, then fill each product's shelf slot on the shop floor.

  3. 3

    Set a selling price for every product. Price too low and you lose margin. Price too high and customers get unhappy.

  4. 4

    Work the checkout yourself: scan every item, then take cash or card payments and give the right change.

  5. 5

    Keep the store clean. Mop the floors, take out the trash and polish the windows so customers enjoy their visit.

  6. 6

    Put your profits back into the shop: more floor space, better interiors and staff to share the workload.
