Big Ambitions Jewelry Store Guide Jewelry Store

Jewelry goes in the jewelry display case while smartwatches are listed against a Display Table in the product data. Keep the two product families' equipment separate.

1. Opening steps#

1. Decide which products and services you will carry, and the space for them. Compare floor area, neighborhood and capacity in the building list with the actual lease terms. Check in game that a Jewelry Store can open there before you sign.
2. Set the business type to Jewelry Store. Check the requirements in the business management screen.
3. Prepare the equipment. Prepare the display equipment and stock for the products you chose. If you also sell a service, check that person's workstation and equipment separately.
4. Check shifts, supply and security. The staff list has customer service and cleaning, but the security equipment includes a Security Guard Locker. Whether a guard is actually required is worth checking in game.
5. Review the results once you open. Watch demand by hour, gaps in the schedule, stock-outs and the sales equipment, and adjust.

These steps are an editorial guide. The minimum floor area, the full list of required equipment, exact quantities and headcount have not been verified in game — check the business management screen as well.

2. Products, services and supply#

Main products

Display equipment and supply route per product

Product	Display equipment / capacity	Supply route	Lowest sale price / unit
Jewelry (Cheap)	Jewelry Floor Showcaseholds 50	no wholesaler listedBlueStone Importssupply detailsfactory recipe	$160.00prices by neighborhood

Sale prices are reference values at 100% satisfaction with trained staff. Purchase data assumes default difficulty and a fully skilled purchasing manager, and can move with supply. A missing entry does not prove an item cannot be bought. We do not quote a margin from comparing wholesale and import prices that use different units.

3. Equipment and setup cost#

This links the display equipment from the product table, the staff workstations and the listed security equipment. It includes alternative displays and equipment for additional products, so it is not a shopping list. Read product capacity and customer capacity as two different things.

Equipment linked from the data — not a complete required list

Names to check: Display Table. The product table and the furniture table disagree, so these were not linked or priced into the total.

Equipment links or prices are incomplete, so no example total is shown. Budget from the equipment prices you can confirm.

The example total is neither the full startup cost nor a minimum requirement. It counts one unit each, without duplicates, of the first listed display equipment for every main product plus the staff workstations and security equipment that could be linked. Equipment only used by additional products is left out. Budget separately for rent, deposit, desks, chairs, other furniture, stock, delivery, wages and extra units as you grow.

4. Staff and shifts#

Staff roles listed in the source business data

Role	Listed workstation	Recruited at
Customer Service	Cash Register	Anderson Recruitment Corp.
Cleaning	Cleaning Station	Anderson Recruitment Corp.

The staff list has customer service and cleaning, but the security equipment includes a Security Guard Locker. Whether a guard is actually required is worth checking in game.

The listed roles are not a headcount. Build the schedule from the hours you actually open, the number of workstations and the contract terms, and check in game whether roles missing from the list are needed.

Listed security equipment: Security Camera · Security Panel · Security Guard Locker.

5. Opening hours and footfall#

Averaging the daily figures hour by hour, 16:00 · 17:00 is the busiest slot, at 92.9%. That is the mean across all seven days — see the table below for the differences between days.

These are visitors as a share of maximum capacity, not revenue or margin. A 0% is a recorded value, not a closed hour. Blanks show as ‘—’. Set your real opening hours by weighing demand against wages and running costs.

6. Checks while running#
