Is this a good co-op experience?

I was thinking of picking this up with a friend but I was wondering if we have to like compete between our shops or if we can manage one shop together like if theres a way to play this fully as a co-op experience

I started playing the game today with my girlfriend and you can do do everything co-op right from the start of the game. Some quests will have individual turn ins per player, though.

you can both sale from the same shop. There is also other store plots you can buy to set up additional shops on the map. Maybe your co-player can start another shop there or just work with you. My nephew and I run the same shop.

It absolutely is!

The devs have thought of a lot of little things that are great, like how when your friend is talking to an NPC, you can see the text that not only the NPC's saying, but the text of what dialogue choices the friend is choosing, as well.

Yes, this game's wonderful for co-op, and it's clear from just the tutorial alone that they were thinking about co-op from step one.
