King Of Retail is a management simulation game where, as the owner of a new store, you've got to make the right decisions to bring in the big bucks!

Dive right into your career as owner of the newest store in town. Buy and sell the right articles. Build and design your store space. Manage your staff, and take good care of your customers. Plan the perfect marketing scheme, and become the most popular store. But the devil is in the detail.

King Of Retail offers a deep simulation of the retail experience. You’ll design your layout, order and sort new stock, hire new staff and win repeat customers. From fashion to food and even electronics - finally you can bring your dream store to life! Why not even build a corporation from scratch and conquer the city? Run multiple stores! Expand your HQ and manage it all as a CEO!

Can you handle the pressure, or will you fail miserably in a big bankruptcy?


Publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Freaking Games are excited to announce they are going into business together on King of Retail, and will assist to give the game a visual overhaul and bring the title out of Early Access in 2022.

To celebrate the new partnership, King Of Retail is currently 25% off in a weeklong sale on Steam!

"King of Retail surprised me with a unique spin on the strategy and management genre. Running a shop is a core fantasy for most people - it’s one of the first things kids pretend to do when they start to play on their own. This game has a lot of depth and complexity, but at its heart I think it works because it speaks to that inner child in all of us," said Iceberg Interactive CEO Erik.

"We see a lot of potential in King of Retail, which has already built up a fantastic community of fans since 2019, and our role now is to support that and attract even more players. We have over ten years of experience launching games in retail and digital stores, including a lot of Early Access titles, so we know what steps we need to take to ensure this game is another success. As a solo dev, we don’t want to rush Daniel - which is why our plan is to work on the game continuously until a full release in 2022," he continued

Key Features:

  • Choose the direction of your store! Should it be a Shoe Store for the fashionable type, an Electronics Store for your everyday needs, or a giant Hypermarket that sells a bit of everything?
  • Control the inventory! Select and order your goods, prepare delivery and storage, set up in-store displays and foster healthy relationships with your suppliers!
  • Get people inside your store! A good marketing scheme, along with happy customers will work wonders for your income. But don't oversell your idea. Nothing ruins a store quicker than unhappy customers.
  • Manage your personnel! When you have too much on your plate to handle yourself, it might be the time for you to get some staff. Conduct interviews, negotiate salaries and hire people.

King Of Retail is currently available through Steam Early Access, scheduled for full launch in 2022.
