I think supermarket would be the best. I would say do the bare minimum with all 6 advertising options and always use the same building. Than final part would be a shop with every single product in game, and see how that goes :)
The more I look at it the more I realize how absolutely powerful Supermarkets are now. Just browsing some of my saves, they seem to be the top makers (which I didn't honestly realize until recently). The AI seems to somehow get away with it.
To do this right, you need to figure out what you mean by 'best'. If you mean 'the most profitable store', then that'll be an M1 in midtown with the highest traffic, max marketing and ratings with no other businesses in the district while selling every product.
@@Delod Sure, but you've got to have a control. The AI-run businesses are randomized each game, so your results will only apply to your save because other people will have different competitors.
Gotcha, yeah I should have done that for sure. I can just buy out all stores so that demand is only served by my single business, think that would suffice?
@@Delod That'd be the way to go! Then we'd know which was *really* the best! I applaud your efforts. Good luck! (To save time, only need to do it in Midtown, not the whole city. Competition is district-based.)
It would be nice to switch marketing on only at day 10 to see impact of it. For low value item shops, marketing can eat up more than 10% of profits and I doubt it pays off
I've tried the M1 Supermarket but I must be doing something wrong to where I'm only making 30k a day. I sell all the primaries and additionals so idk how the npcs get over 800k weekly in one 😂
Great video: more ideas are best opening times for each shop and best marketing while you do experiment to come with overall recommendation

In this case I was moreso meaning what business does the best when it's within an M1 size location, does that make more sense? :)

Could be pricing, or perhaps inventory is out well before the day is done? I'm unsure what would cause low profit like that otherwise :/
