The store is your kingdom! Expand your humble boutique into a thriving business: hire the right staff, decorate your displays, and lure in customers. Even your wildest ideas can turn a profit. Why not start a business that sells only white T-shirts and ketchup? PCs and beans? Your rule, your rules!

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
About
Ever wanted to start your own business? In King of Retail, anything is possible!
Plan a shop theme and store design, and launch your very own enterprise. The store is your kingdom, and if you run it well you might be able to expand into a larger corporation! If you get it wrong… well, blame it on the economy.
It’s your store, and you can sell whatever you want! Want to run a shop that only sells chicken? Do it! Every kind of electronic, and also fresh foods? Why not!
Design and customize your store, and achieve your dreams of running a unique emporium of your very own.
The secret is, you need people to choose YOUR location to spend their hard-earned money. What makes your store the best? Do you have the best shelf-stockers in town, or the most convincing salespeople? Maybe you simply have well-targeted online ads. There are many ways to make your store stand out!
Watch your customers closely! Study their behavior and figure out what makes them pull out their wallets. Then, do more of it!
Humanize your brand by hiring humans — the right ones! Conduct interviews with prospective employees to find the best mix of skills and culture fit. Negotiate salaries, manage shifts, and train people up so they thrive and grow with you
Why settle for one shop, when you could run a whole chain? Invest money in advertising to bring in greater throngs of customers; rebrand your store’s interior design; and keep optimising stock and pricing to maximize your profit. If it all pays off, you might be able to incorporate and expand into multiple stores across the city!
It’s your store, and you can run it how you want. Micro-manage every detail and constantly adjust for optimal profit, or just watch the ebb and flow of your perfect masterpiece. You’re your own boss and you can play your own way — it’s good to be the king.

Fun game but insane devs. Game ist still earlyacces like and they announce a sequel... Wow
Best game for when I am depressed and want to be numb.
Likely the best real business simulation out there. Can't wait for King of Retail 2 to fix on some of the frustrations, but this is already an awesome game to play, no doubt about it.

Every market we collect.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.44/day in the week to Aug 4 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

这款游戏虽然看得出来是小成本,模型比较粗糙,引擎也很感人,但是游戏模拟经营的内容却十分丰富。从品牌设计,到员工服装,到各单位的经理,到物流公司的选择,等等等等,经营模拟要素还是相当齐全的。有种麻雀虽小五脏俱全的感觉。希望能出2代,提高一下游戏硬件质量,找一个投资商或者什么的,会是一个不错的潜力游戏。
Richtig gutes Spiel. Hab leider trotz 187 Spielstände immer noch keinen Arlo :(
fun addicting game
I see the King of Retail 2 is coming out so I thought I would review this one. For starters, I get so lost in this game. I really enjoy the capitalism part of this, you can set you inventory , change prices of each item and manage you employees. Each has a respectable depth to how specific your employees are trained as well. I only play the campaign mode, not sandbox because I like a challenge. I really enjoy that once you open up your headquarters, you can really customize your franchises , what you sell, your image and upgrade headquarters. It has a cozy aspect of decorating and stocking items. But I think it can be very paced and even a little stressful when your store is open. Overall, I would definitely suggest this game to those who love capitalism, management, and building and empire.
