Learn how to upgrade Timmy and Tommy's shop in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, from Nookling Junction to T&T Emporium, including unlock requirements and opening hours.
Hey there! So, you're looking to get the most out of Timmy and Tommy's shop in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, huh? It's a super important spot on Main Street where you can grab all sorts of goodies like furniture, tools, wallpaper, and even those fun fortune cookies. Let's break down how to get the shop to grow with you!
First off, those fortune cookies are a neat little bonus. You can snag 'em for 2 Play Coins each, and the fortunes inside can be traded for awesome Nintendo-themed items. Keep an eye out for those!
As you progress, the shop will naturally upgrade, offering a wider variety of items. Once you hit the T & T Mart stage, you'll even get a catalogue to order things directly to your house, though some special items, like those from fortune cookies, won't be available there.
