In Welcome to Bloxburg, building a business isn’t just a side activity—it’s one of the most rewarding ways to earn in-game cash, express creativity, and level up your career skills. Whether you dream of running a bakery, a fashion boutique, or a bustling restaurant, success comes down to design, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Here’s your step-by-step guide to building a thriving Bloxburg business.
1. Choose the Right Business Type
Start by selecting a business that matches your interests and in-game goals:
- Food & Beverage: Café, ice cream shop, or pizza place (great for steady income)
- Retail: Clothing store, electronics shop, or bookstore (high profit per item)
- Services: Salon, photo studio, or repair shop (requires skill but less inventory)
Each type has unique mechanics—food businesses need restocking, while retail relies on display and pricing.
2. Design for Flow and Function
Layout matters! Customers follow paths, so:
- Place entrances near sidewalks
- Create a clear path from entrance → products → register
- Keep backrooms for storage and employee breaks (use doors to hide clutter)
Use signs, lighting, and themed decor to reinforce your brand. A bakery should smell like cinnamon (visually!), not look like a hardware store.
3. Hire and Train Staff Wisely
You can’t run everything alone. Hire NPCs or assign household members to roles:
- Cashiers handle sales
- Stockers refill shelves
- Chefs prepare food (in restaurants)
Train them regularly! Higher skill = faster service = happier customers = more tips and sales.
4. Price Strategically and Restock Often
Check your Business Panel (press “B”) to adjust prices. Start slightly above cost, then raise as your reputation grows. Monitor stock levels—empty shelves mean lost sales!
For food businesses, balance menu variety with prep time. Too many complex dishes = long lines = angry customers.
5. Promote and Upgrade
Once profitable, reinvest in:
- Better appliances (faster coffee machines, premium mannequins)
- Larger lots (unlock via leveling up your business)
- Marketing boosts (temporary customer influx from the business menu)
Keep your business clean and staff happy—mood affects performance!
