How it works

Enlarges the Display Case again and brings one more Display Case customer (3 types draw a buyer, 4 with Buyer Referral Service). You need goods of a third type. Bought on day 7, it pays off at about 12 credits per extra customer, cheaper per customer than Store Renovation I and Store Renovation II.

What it does

Expands the Display Case, and 1 more customer comes for it each day while your store is not vandalized.

Rating

BConditional choice

Another permanent category slot costs more than the first expansion. It is efficient only with another distinct stocked category beyond the slots already available, including any active referral slot.

Buy it when the condition in the reason applies, such as stock waiting for buyers, crime building up or batteries running short. Until then, put the money into your current business.

When stock is piling upTake only if unsold stock spans an additional category; one large pile is not sufficient.

When production falls shortDelay while existing slots or shelves are empty; extra capacity cannot create stock.

    An established mixed retail business is well placed to use more category visitors, provided replenishment keeps the third useful category stocked.

    The main output does not naturally fill several additional retail categories. Buy only after deliberately building a mixed-stock branch rather than expecting larger batches to create more category visitors.

Recommended time to buy

Mid game

Undiscounted unlock price on Mark Up: 500. Buy after Showcase Expansion I and enough distinct stock. With no referral, a third category is needed; an active extra referral slot raises the variety needed to use every slot.
