V. 0.8.0 "Corporate Management" is released
The initial HQ was very barebones, so it has now been completely overhauled. It consists of several floors to run your corporation. The ground floor is for corporation control, and where you manage your new lots, as well as the hiring of managers. Each concept then has its own unique floor. Here you administer talents, design, as well as interacting with the concept managers.
You can now hire managers for various jobs. Both for the corporation in general, but also for the individual concepts. So will you spend money on an Area Manager that improves stores run by the Daily Manager, or a Sales Manager that affects the customers in the store you are currently at. But they also require a wage, so think about when it is time to expand. It takes time for these managers to learn their skill, and become familiar with their new role. They are also influenced by various events happening in the game, so you will need to manage these, and make sure the perfect manager doesn't join another company. You can also promote a manager from one of your stores to the HQ, and that person will gain a bonus as the employee already has experience with working at your corporation.
At your HQ you can also boast of the achievements earned with your corporation. Show off the Employer of the month, or the Customer Satisfaction Award in your trophy cabinets.
To allow for this, there will no longer be an office at the CIty Hall, as it will be at the City Map instead.
[Corporate Fees/h3]
You can now set a corporate fee for each concept, giving some of the store profits back to the HQ, such that it runs more smooth, and you don't need to jump back and transfer funds all the time.
Dear Retailers! The latest update is finally out. It has focused heavily in improving the corporate experience, by improving your HQ and all of its functionalities. We have also balanced out some of the gameplay, and changed smaller inconveniences. We hope you will enjoy it steamhappy
--- The new HQ ---
New design
The initial HQ was very barebones, so it has now been completely overhauled. It consists of several floors to run your corporation. The ground floor is for corporation control, and where you manage your new lots, as well as the hiring of managers. Each concept then has its own unique floor. Here you administer talents, design, as well as interacting with the concept managers.
New managers
You can now hire managers for various jobs. Both for the corporation in general, but also for the individual concepts. So will you spend money on an Area Manager that improves stores run by the Daily Manager, or a Sales Manager that affects the customers in the store you are currently at. But they also require a wage, so think about when it is time to expand. It takes time for these managers to learn their skill, and become familiar with their new role. They are also influenced by various events happening in the game, so you will need to manage these, and make sure the perfect manager doesn't join another company. You can also promote a manager from one of your stores to the HQ, and that person will gain a bonus as the employee already has experience with working at your corporation.
Company awards
At your HQ you can also boast of the achievements earned with your corporation. Show off the Employer of the month, or the Customer Satisfaction Award in your trophy cabinets.
No City Hall
To allow for this, there will no longer be an office at the CIty Hall, as it will be at the City Map instead.
--- Balancing and improvements ---
[Corporate Fees/h3]
You can now set a corporate fee for each concept, giving some of the store profits back to the HQ, such that it runs more smooth, and you don't need to jump back and transfer funds all the time.
Price Adjustments
It seemed that is was too easy to earn money from computers. So their purchase, and sales prices have been altered to have a smaller profit margin. So in existing games, you might want to adjust the prices.
Customer AI's
Customers now also act differently based on their segment type. The richer persons will demand a higher level of service, and by that ask for help more. Their tendency to ask, is now also based of the article they look at. So they will in general require more help when looking a computers, as compared to clothes.
Selling to customers
The speed of selling to customers has been improved, by shortening the animation time on the conversations. Also a quick sale button has been added, to quickly go through the sales interaction, with varied results off course.
Deliveries
The mailman will now arrive faster at your store, giving you a bit more time to handle articles before you open the store.
--- Bug Fixes ---
First of all, we are terribly sorry for these inconveniences, and of any annoyance they have caused.
Unloadable Save Games
Some of you reported that you could not load some of your entrepreneur save games. This has been corrected, and these games are playable again.
Summary Screen
Some bad design caused this screen to have extremely high loading time in long games, possibly causing a crash, but at best long waiting times when updating the screen. This has been fixed, such that it now updates much faster.
Loan Bug
An issue caused loans to double each time you entered a store, causing then p be unpayable and requiring insane payment amounts. This has been corrected, and loans work again. Also, stores affected by this will be corrected when you enter the store for the first time, reducing the amount of loans to a normal level.
We hope that you will enjoy these new features, and we would like to hear any comments you might have.

Are you ready to take on the challenge? If yes, then King of Retail is the game for you.
As the owner and manager you have a lot of responsibilities on a daily basis.
You must:
Choose the direction of your store
Should it be a Shoe Store for the fashionable type, an Electronics Store for your everyday needs, or a giant Hypermarket that sells a bit of everything? Not everything will work. Trying to sell high-fashion, high-priced items in the poor part of town will not generate endless queues at your register. Will you try to dominate a competitive market, or go in an unexplored direction.Control the article flow
For an article to be taken home by a customer, a lot of things must be taken care of. First you must select and order the articles. For a delivery to take place, the storage space must be able to receive and handle the delivered articles. The sales area must have the right displays and registers to showcase and sell the articles. Building a good relationship with your suppliers is key to be able to sell their more exclusive items. Oh, and by the way, which article should be the first for your customers to see when they enter your store? The bulk selling jeans, or the hyped silk shirt?Get people inside your store
Build your reputation among your customers, and make your store the most sought after in town. A good marketing scheme, along with happy customers will work wonders for your income. But don't oversell your idea. If you can't keep what you promise, the customers will leave the store dissatisfied, and nothing ruins a store quicker than unhappy customers.Please the customer
Create an enjoyable atmosphere for your customers to shop in, and theme your store, so they will know it is YOUR store they have entered. Make sure they receive the help they need, and that the lines for the registers don't grow too long. Manage the in-store marketing, so that both the fashionistas and the discount-hunters knows where to go, and which article to pick.Manage your personnel
When you have too much on your plate to handle yourself, it might be the time for you to get some staff. Find interesting candidates among the applications. Conduct interviews, get a feel for the person, and decide if they match the role you need taken care of. Negotiate their salary and hire them. Keep them happy, and make sure they are not overworked. A great working climate gives great dedication. But you still need to sort the slackers from the workers. Invest time in the right persons, and train them to become better so when you need a stand-in for yourself, when you move to the next store, you can pick from your own home-grown talents.Optimize the store
The difference between a good store and a great store lies in the detail. Weed out the poor selling articles, and get more of the good ones. Make sure you don't order unnecessarily many articles, but still enough that you don't run out. Optimize the prizes to increase the income. Find the customer patterns and adjust the opening hours accordingly. Plan an efficient staff schedule, so you don't pay people for doing nothing.Prepare for big events
Is a VIP coming? Christmas soon? Black Friday? Can you spot the next big trend before anyone else? Adjust your actions according to the events occurring in a dynamic city that changes day by day.All of this is is just an ordinary day as a store owner.
Are you ready to take on the challenge? If yes, then King of Retail is the game for you.
