Can you run this?
A 30-day retail simulation

Can You Run a Small Grocery Store for 30 Days?

A corner shop with a supermarket five minutes away. You keep a few cents on every dollar, so everything matters: what you charge on rice versus chocolate, how much fresh food you order before it rots, when you pay your suppliers, who you let buy on credit and how long you stay open.

How it plays

  1. Week 1 · Opening the shutters — Set up your grocery store
  2. Week 2 · The supermarket notices — Respond to the supermarket
  3. Week 3 · Leaks — Plug the leaks
  4. Week 4 · The busy week — Finish the month

After the debrief, “Keep going — 3 more months” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
