Clothing stores the "only" way to go?

[ShadyBas]

Hi,
I'm pretty new to the game. Started story mode a few days ago and now reached the quest for 50.000.000$.
I didn't try every type of store yet, but clothing seems to be the best one by far andwas the gamechanger for the story. So what's the point of other businesses? Am I doing something wrong?

Havent tried a clothing store..

But in general the business types are mostly fluff? Think i've read that stores tend to sell more of their 'type' of items.. but they can all sell everything you can fit the stuff in for.

*edit - was just reading a different thread - business type might also have an effect based off how many others of the same type there are in the district. - i get if one may not want to open a gift shop if there are like 6 others, unless demand is still very high. didn't think # of that type would to much once founded.. but guess it does make sense.

Clothing will be balanced as will other stores. See roadmap, pinned topics.

It's pretty random, I've run Jewelry, Liquor and even Gift Shops with a mere capacity of 15 and 3 employees with a daily profit of above 5k (add a 0 if scaled up to 30 or 40 capacity + marketing and 4 to 6 employees).

Especially Gift Shops are hilarious as you can add flowers to the same kind of shelf ... cheap gift, expensive gift, cheap flowers, expensive flowers and pretty much every customer will buy 3 out of 4 products offered.
