Department Store Dynasty - A Get To Work Challenge (with SimLit)

Like many dynasties, all come from humble beginnings.

Denzel Simton left Selvadorada and moved to a land of opportunities in Willow Creek. Denzel wasn’t interested in archaeology nor hidden treasures. To earn such riches, one had to dig and get dirty--a prospect that made Denzel shudder.

No. Denzel Simton sought to gain riches through capitalism. Buy low, sell high. Gain investors, keep them happy. Push the paper to keep the greens coming in. The only thing Denzel wanted to dig out was people’s wallets.

With dreams of wealth, he begins, however, in poverty. He bought his kitchen appliances from dilapidated garage sales, and the home he erected was unadorned. It saddened him from time to time, especially when he burned his meal and almost burned himself up. But to strive in this world, one had to endure great sacrifice.

And that sacrifice yielded him a retail store at Oakenstead. It was as bare as his home, but at least there was merchandise. Merchandise that he had gotten a great deal from his birth place at Selvadorada.

The store didn’t gain much attention until celebrities started showing up. The exotic silks and fabrics that Denzel sold was a hit.

Despite not having any funds for advertising, word of mouth had made him profitable. And the word spread like wild fire.

Not soon after, he ordered shoes from Selvadorada as merchandise. Because of his financial state, he had to use the computer from the local library. Owning a computer would have been nice, but that money was better spent to make more money.

And so with new merchandise and some new investors, Denzel Simton’s store, which he named SimMart, began, which was on its way to become the largest Department Store in the SimWorld.
