• Making a building, and helping it stand is only one part of building a shop. The most important part is filling it with products and customers. There are a huge number of online games that put you in control of a shop, and let you build its customer base and the services it can offer clients.
  
  

Shopping Street

• The only thing better than owning one shop is owning an entire street of shops. In Shopping street, you have to place and upgrade a number of stores with the goal of getting as many customers passing through them as possible, earning you money to upgrade the street and the stores. It's a simple challenge that takes a different perspective than others in this genre.
  
  

Cake Mania

• In the first game of the series, you start off playing as Jill, a recent bakery school graduate who has decided to open her own cake shop. While you learn to manage the various machines and customers in your shop, you can build up the shop by purchasing new gadgets and equipment to make more and more complex cakes.
  
  

Coffee Tycoon

• Many people are familiar with Starbucks, and in this game you get to play as the head of an upstart coffee store like that chain. You have to balance the number of baristas, managers and executives in such a way that gets you the most money, customers and new stores opened. As you earn more money, you can build your menu with new drinks, which will add new customers and money to your store.
  
  

Barber Shop

• The time management genre often goes hand-in-hand with the shop building games. In this, you own a slightly different kind of shop: a barber shop. As you get your customers in and out faster, you'll find your shop quickly filling with new chairs, letting you handle more clients, as you build your barber shop from the ground up.
  
  

McDonald's Videogame

• In this darkly humorous parody of the fast food industry, you have to balance all of elements that make up its global empire. When you're not building up the individual stores that make up your empire, you're managing the board room, taking care of the livestock, or extending the grazing land for the animals. This may not be the game for everyone, and does parody the McDonald's franchise very extensively, but it is a very interesting simulation.
