King of Retail

King of Retail is a store management simulation where you decide what your store sells and how it sells it. The selection isn't curated to obvious genres: open a chicken-only shop, sell electronics alongside fresh produce, run a boutique stocking white T-shirts and ketchup. The economy treats every combination seriously, and customers respond accordingly.

Day-to-day management covers shop theme, store design, shelf layout, pricing, advertising, hiring and shift scheduling. Interviewing prospective employees lets you weigh skills against culture fit, then negotiate salaries and train them up. Customers behave with observable patterns: study what makes them spend, then do more of it, while watching for what drives them out the door.

Expansion takes a successful store toward chain ownership. Multiple locations across a city, brand consistency or experimentation, advertising budgets and rebrandings all stack into the long game. Players can micro-manage every detail or sit back and watch a well-tuned shop run itself. Developed by Hairy Llama Limited, with regular content updates and customization tools throughout.
