Probably Stolen how to buy the store works like this: buying out the shop is the stated objective, and in version 1.0 it is the ending — when you purchase and own the store the game ends and shows a stats screen with your most profitable sale, days survived, total worth and perks earned. A loss shows a sadder version of the same screen. The exact buyout price is not a fixed number, so treat the figure on your own HUD as canonical.
Probably Stolen How To Buy The Store: What The Ending Requires
You begin on the Mentor's loan, and that loan only covers getting the shop running, not owning it. Two achievements track the endgame:
| Achievement | What it wants |
|---|---|
| Keys to the Kingdom | Own the deed to the store |
| Prodigious | Own the deed before day 50 |
Buyout price is not a published constant — one run put it at roughly a third of total worth after about 100 in-game days — which means a fixed budget target will be wrong. The achievements page lists every unlock in the game.
The Funding Order That Holds Up
Work down this order, and do not skip ahead:
- Insurance and protection. A single overnight theft can erase your reserve.
- Traffic tools. The display case, food stock and attractiveness gadgets such as the Mirage Projector.
- Production that runs while you are closed. Furnace and smelting, wine fermentation, water purification.
- Licences. The vendor or trading permit is a buyout accelerator, and organ dealing and the other extra jobs sit on the same ladder.
- Scavenging as a subsidy. Scrap is cheaper than buying ingots at retail.
Judge every deal by what is left over, not by the sticker price. Three questions decide it: if Security walks in tonight can I still pay rent; if the lot is fake or hot do I have the tools to catch it; is Joe Wild's insurance cheaper than starting over.
The permits and underground market page covers what each licence actually opens and what it costs.
When To Stop Expanding
When the number is close, stop expanding. No new hydroponic bay, no extra labeler. Convert inventory you will not miss, keep food on the shelf, and buy the shop on the morning the till clears the requirement.
