| from that intel I wouldn't be able to tell if your store is profitable or not.
If it is, and you have the cash for it, and you feel confident you can create a second profitable store, then that's what I'd do. Try to start it with the same types of products, but in a different city in the same region. But most importantly: first do market research! A good market overrules anything else. Once you've established a stable, positive cash flow and have enough cash in your account to continue supplying your stores, you can think about buying or building a factory. In the very beginning, factories require quite some capital. There are the initial investments in buildings and machines. But then you have to buy materials on day 1 without getting any sales revenue. On day 2, the materials arrive (but obviously you need to pay for another batch as you will need to do every day), but then you still don't have any product you can sell. This becomes available on day 3. You need to check your treasury to make sure you stay liquid :-) Good luck! |

| Your store has limited storage space for its stock. "% Occupancy" shows you how much of the storage space is currently used (in your case very little). "Expenses" is how much it costs you to keep those items in storage. The last three values I think have something to do with the change in storage from one turn to the next, but I am not really sure. To see if your store is profitable, go to your store and select "Financial report" -> "Graphics" from the page tabs. There you can see how much profit the store made last turn. |
