When you want to open more than one shop of the same type, the opening cost of each new shop increases by 50% compared to the previous shop.
For example, if the opening price of your first shop is $105,000:
1st shop: $105,000
2nd shop: $157,500
3rd shop: $236,250
4th shop: $354,375
The important point here is that the 50% increase is not always calculated based on the price of the first shop. The price of each new shop is calculated by adding 50% to the price of the previous shop.
For example, the second shop is calculated as follows:
$105,000 + 50% = $157,500
For the third shop, the calculation is based on the second shop's price of $157,500, not the original $105,000:
$157,500 + 50% = $236,250
This system applies only when opening multiple shops of the same type. Therefore, if you plan to open more than one shop of the same type, you will need to set aside a higher budget for each new shop.
