Nook's Cranny

Template:Infobox nookstore Nook's Cranny (Japanese: タヌキ商店 Tanuki Shop) is the first incarnation of Tom Nook's Store. Open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., (8 a.m. to 10 p.m. in City Folk) the player begins the game with this store.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Nook's store supplies a wallpaper, a flooring, a flower seed, medicine, two pieces of furniture, three tools (two in Animal Crossing: Wild World, and one in Animal Crossing (GCN)) and some writing paper. During the month of October, one of the tools will be replaced with a piece of candy (except in Wild World). The player must spend and/or sell a total of 25,000 Bells and play for at least eight days for an upgrade.

This store is also available as a model after spending at least 30,000 Bells in Wild World and City Folk.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nook's Cranny returns. Similar to Nookling Junction, the store is operated by Timmy and Tommy instead of Tom Nook.

Unlocking

Although the store is a starting store in the other Animal Crossing games, In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it is a unlockable store.

In New Horizons, from what we know, on your second day on the island, when you go into the Resident Services tent, Timmy and Tom Nook will be having a discussion about opening a store on your island.

If you talk to Timmy, he will request that you help build the store. If you accept, he will tell you what he needs to build it; 30 pieces of wood, hardwood, and softwood, as well as 30 iron nuggets.

Once all of these objects have been collected and given to Timmy, he will give you a tent to place the shop wherever the player sees fit.

Layout

In the back of the store 2 pieces of furniture stand alone. To the left of them is a long table that spans the whole wall except for space for Nook's Point-Tracking System. In the middle there is a table for three tools. To the bottom right of the table, there are some vases.

The store itself resembles a shed, made with wooden planks and held together with metal sheets. In fact, it is even stated that Tom Nook's shop may be Tortimer's old gardening shed before he became mayor.
