Open eletronic store

[kwesidbz21]

So just started the game today and can't figure out how to open an electronic store officially in the game. I brought all the stuff but when I go to open business nothing say electronic store under Bizman option. Is there something I am missing or can you only open certain businesses in certain location or something?

You should be able to make an Electronics store in any retail building. If you can't - please hit F2 and submit a bug report and we'll take a look!

There are 2 admin stages to opening the new store. First you rent, then you choose what you have rented will be. This is normally done in the same process but as you are new I think you miss how.

In bizman select your store, then choose settings on the right most tab. This is where those admin stages are. You can choose the type of business here and rename it. I suspect you haven't done this part. The game is paused at this point so take your time to become familiar with this page. It has other useful options. You may want to change your store from one type to another for example. In that case (or maybe this one) you would close the business (you still have a rental contract), and then open a different one.

Once you choose the type of business, a minimum requirement pops up in your adviser panel with associated errors which remain until you have satisfied them. The most common one for newbies is tills. The wrong type, or no paper bags or a till not on a cabinet are 3 common errors. but if you run into any you can post here and learn a little more.

Finally, on the normal screen there is a ? on the top right. This gives you access to one of the most comprehensive, early access help files you will come across. This should help enormously.

Make sure you:

• Buy and place a till on a counter.
  
• Buy and place at least 1 display table (these are what you sell the electronics on).
  
• Select the item that will be sold in the display table.
  
• Make sure you have staff assigned to opening hours.
  
• Don't forget to open the store (I've forgot to do this a handful of times).
  
  Honestly though I don't recommend an electronics store until you have atleast $100k-$200k because buying the initial stock for them is a big investment. Once you've go one set up you'll be making bank though, so get those first few gift shops set up, then drive to the bank in Hell's Kitchen, take on an $800k loan, set up a warehouse, then start building electronics stores all over the place.
