Tom Nook Store Upgrades

When you first start out in Animal Crossing, you will discover that Tom Nook owns a small shop called "Nook's Cranny". Here you can buy furniture, flower seeds, trees and tools for your day-to-day activities.

As you continue to make purchases from the shop, the "profits" will be used to upgrade to bigger and better premises. Tom Nook will announce that his shop will be closed for a day, and after this the upgrade will be complete.

Here is a quick guide to the shop upgrades and what you need to do to achieve them:

1. Nook and Go: spend 25000 bells at Nook's Cranny, and ensure your town has been active for at least 8 days.
   
2. Nookway: Spend 90000 bells with Nook. This shop features sliding doors and a much greater range of items for sale, including 5 furniture items and 4 tools.
3. Nookingtons: Spend 240,000 bells and have a friend connect to your town who should purchase at least one item from your store. This is the Animal Crossing version of a department store, which includes two floors and a hair salon! Nook will also hire Timmy and Tommy to help serve customers on the second floor (where furniture is sold)

You will need to connect with a friend for Nookingtons (the final store upgrade) either using the DS to DS connection or over WiFi. It is a little awkward of you are the only person you know who plays Animal Crossing Wild World, so it may be worthwhile considering signing up to the Animal Crossing Community to find someone willing to connect over wi-fi if you are otherwise unable to do so.
