About Thrifty Business
There’s a brand new thrift store in town, and guess what? You’re in charge!
In Thrifty Business, you’ll set up and manage your very own 90’s-inspired vintage thrift shop. Adjust your layout and organize your shelves and racks to the finest detail. Group your wares by colour, theme, purpose, or whatever you like. The more organized your store is, the more community points you’ll get to unlock new goodies! As business grows, you might even need to expand into the adjacent rooms!
Unlock furniture, decorations, wallpaper & floors to create a beautiful community space that brings everybody together! It’s so much more than just a store. Listen to your customer’s stories and try to fulfill their requests. You can also unlock and host hobbyist events, turning your business into a treasured third space for locals!
