Idle Supermarket Tycoon

No business degree needed, just fast fingers and mild obsession. This charmingly simple supermarket sim has you clicking through a single store layout, managing every aisle with the laser focus of a seasoned retail lifer. You'll refill produce bins, reload dairy coolers, and hustle your cashiers along to keep those lines moving, all while slowly buying out new shelf sections and backroom stock to earn your way to five stars. It’s a one-level loop of stocking and selling that’s more cozy than cutthroat, making it perfect for zoning out while still feeling productive. The game’s mechanics are so stripped down they feel almost suspiciously familiar, like someone took the core loop of a mobile idle app, left out the microtransactions, and just gave you the fun part. If you’ve played Shopping Mall Girl, Idle Mart, or anything in the Toca Life universe, you’ll get the vibe instantly. Bonus trivia: supermarkets were one of the biggest cultural exports of 20th-century America—when the first self-service grocery store, Piggly Wiggly, opened in 1916, it was considered revolutionary because shoppers could finally pick out their own items without asking a clerk.
