Staff now level up (1-10). They earn XP for actual work — scanning, restocking, mopping, catching thieves — plus a bit for time on the clock

Higher level staff work faster. A level 10 cashier tears through a queue

At levels 4, 7 and 10 they'll ask for a raise (+15%/hr). Grant it in the Staff menu, or ignore them for ten minutes and they quit on the spot

Raise requests pop up a notification with a sound. If you're in a menu it waits until you close it, and it gets out of the way if you open one

There's an auto-approve toggle in the Staff tab if you'd rather not deal with it. You still get a popup, it's just green and already handled

Perk trees — every level gives an upgrade point to spend, plus $500/$1,000/$1,500 per rank. Everyone gets Conditioning (slower energy drain) and Hustle (faster walking), and each role has its own third perk: Fast Hands for cashiers, Pallet Jack for restockers, Intimidating for guards, Wide Mop for janitors, Leadership for managers

You can rename your staff now. Their name and level float above their head, over the energy bar

The Staff menu shows level, XP, wage, and a grant button when someone's waiting on an answer

Everything saves with your store. Old saves just start everyone at level 1

Buildable WINDOWS — place glass sections on any outside wall of the building. Sections placed side by side merge into one long window, and every window (including the storefront you start with) can be bulldozed for a refund

Windows survive expansions — when the walls move, your glass finds the nearest wall on the same side and stays put

The break room and storage room are now connected by swinging staff doors, at every store size

A full exterior makeover: brick walls outside, fresh plaster with wood wainscot inside, wooden shop floor, and a weathered concrete plinth wrapping the whole foundation

Customers now buy up to 8 items per trip (sometimes doubles of the same thing), shown stacked two layers high in their trolleys

Partial boxes can go back into storage — the crates track loose items exactly, and restockers grab opened boxes first before cracking a new case

Restockers walk leftover stock back to the crates instead of dumping boxes on the floor, and multiple restockers split up so they never chase the same shelf

Thieves aren't safe until they drive off — chase them into the parking lot and bat them to get every item back. The loss only counts when their car leaves

Players can bat EACH OTHER — four clean hits puts someone on the floor (they wake up out front, no harm done)

Sidewalk pedestrians can be batted too... but word spreads fast and your reputation takes the hit

Guided first-day tutorial — every new game opens with a hands-on checklist: place your register, shelf and lights on glowing markers, order bread, pull it from the crates and stock it. Then sit back for a cinematic lesson as your first customer shops, pays, and tracks dirt through your store

Tutorials can be turned off in Settings

Storage crates — everything you order now lands in the crates in the storage room. Press E on them to browse your stock (sorted by category) and grab a case

Restockers pull from the crates too, and the host referees every grab

Night restocking (Manage tab) — restockers keep working after close at normal hourly pay, and clock out to the break room when the shelves are done

Meet the Thief — the first masked thief to walk into your store freezes time for a quick lesson

29 achievements — profit milestones, customer counts, crime, max upgrades, selling every product, and a few you'll unlock by accident

Walk-in customers — locals stroll the far sidewalk, cross at the zebra, shop, and carry their goods home in a bag

Living street — pedestrians on the sidewalk, pass-by traffic, and roads that turn the corner at both ends of the map

Cars now drive in on the actual road, pull into a bay, and leave out the opposite end of town

Real surfaces everywhere — marked asphalt roads, worn concrete parking lot, tiled sidewalks, brick perimeter fence, and actual grass

Death cam — get knocked out and you'll see your own crumpled body before waking up out front

Carrying a case now shows what's inside above your hotbar, and the Order menu shows product icons

Saves remember what your staff look like and what they're called

Starting funds raised to $2,500

In-game chat (Enter) — messages pop instantly, linger 10 seconds, then fade

18 new products across four new aisles — Toys, Kitchen, Hardware & Appliances (basketballs, game consoles, power drills, toilets, fridges...)

Pallet fixture — floor display for the big stuff: fridges, washing machines, BBQ grills, big screen TVs

Wholesale market — case costs swing up to ±5% every day; the Order tab shows today's swing so you can buy the dips

Storefront glow-up — tilted SUPERMARKET marquee with lamps, proper doorway signs, pendant-lit back rooms, and swinging staff doors on the break and storage rooms

The store now sits on a real foundation with an entrance ramp

Ctrl to crouch in first/third person

Bus Route upgrade — bus riders add up to +45 shoppers on top of parking

Skip the night (press N when closed) — staff recharge while time flies; waits until the last customer is rung up

Global lifetime-profit leaderboard (Leaders tab)

Loans reworked — borrow up to 50% of your net worth with a slider; 2–5% daily rate, fixed nightly payment, interest first then principal

Shelf locks — aim at a shelf and press F to lock it to its product; unlocked shelves take anything once empty

Player health — staff you attack fight back; get knocked out and you ragdoll, respawning out front 5 seconds later

Robbers wear the Very Scary Terry Mask
