What is Thrifty Business?
In this single-player simulation, you run a '90s-inspired thrift store, unpacking secondhand goods and arranging them on shelves and racks. Grouping items by color, theme, or purpose earns community points to unlock furnishings and decorations. As the shop grows, you expand into adjacent rooms, fulfill customer requests, and host hobby events that make it a community gathering place.
