Where to Buy Anything in Big Ambitions

Each link opens that item in the finder below.

• Gym equipment: Essentials Appliances, Lower Manhattan, which sells every piece. IKA BOHAG in the Garment District has treadmills, kettlebells, pull-up bars, mats and fitballs too.
• Water cooler: Mr. Scott’s Office Supplies, Lower Manhattan, or IKA BOHAG, Garment District.
• Industrial grill: Square Appliances, Hell’s Kitchen.
• Fridge: Square Appliances, Hell’s Kitchen, for drinks and industrial fridges. The standard fridge for your apartment is also at IKA BOHAG.
• Computer workstation: a desk, a chair and a computer, all at Mr. Scott’s Office Supplies, Lower Manhattan. IKA BOHAG stocks the same three.
• Shelf panel: the product panel is at AJ Pederson & Son, Garment District.
• Flower display: flowers go on a rounded shelf or a tiered display stand, both at AJ Pederson & Son, Garment District.
• Vehicle for a warehouse: General US Trucks, Industry City. Which truck to pick is below the finder.
• Bathroom stall and uniform locker: not in the wiki’s lists, so players’ answers are below the finder.

Buying a vehicle for a warehouse

Delivery vehicles come from General US Trucks on 17th Avenue in Industry City, across the bridge. It moved there in Early Access 0.9, and it sells three trucks. What separates them is how many shops one run can reach and how skilled the driver has to be:

Vehicle	Driver skill needed	Stops per run	With a 100% logistics manager
Freight Truck T1	95%	4	8
Vord Courier D500	75%	3	6
Mersaidi Dash	50%	2	4

The Dash is the van that replaced the original delivery van in 0.9. Two vehicles from the other dealerships do the same job as a Dash: the UMC Nunavut from Manhattan Luxury Cars and the Vord V150 from City Cars. Any ordinary car can run deliveries too, but it reaches one stop, or two with a fully trained logistics manager. Park whichever you buy inside the warehouse and assign a driver to it — the warehouse guide covers the rest of the setup.

The two items players ask about most

Neither has a page on the community wiki, so neither is in the finder. On the Steam forums, players agree on where to buy them.

Bathroom stall

CommunityEssentials Appliances, Lower Manhattan. Two players gave that answer after 1.0, and the developer’s forum account gave the same one before it. Players also point out that a shop needs the stall rather than a plain toilet, or customers complain about privacy.

Uniform locker

CommunityAJ Pederson & Son, Garment District. Players say one locker per business is enough. Hovgaard made the locker a requirement for changing uniforms in Early Access 0.9, and BizMan’s uniform settings show a warning in any business that has none.

How the stores split up

The seventeen stores do not overlap much, which is why “where do I buy X” is a real question in this game rather than a menu:

• Appliance stores — AJ Pederson & Son in the Garment District, Essentials Appliances in Lower Manhattan, Square Appliances in Hell’s Kitchen. Checkout counters, shelving, fridges, kitchen equipment, hairdresser and jewellery fittings. Sixty items are stocked by more than one of them, usually at the same price, so the nearest one wins.
• Furniture stores — IKA BOHAG in the Garment District carries the widest range in the game; LUXCONCEPT in Murray Hill carries the expensive end.
• Office supplies — Mr. Scott’s Office Supplies in Lower Manhattan: desks, workstations, phones, and the job board you hang on a wall to recruit walk-ins.
• Factory equipment — Factory Supply Depot in Industry City, across the bridge, for the machines the factory planner tells you to buy.
• Car dealerships — City Cars in the Garment District for everyday cars, Manhattan Luxury Cars in Murray Hill for the expensive ones, and General US Trucks in Industry City for delivery trucks.
• Importers — seven of them, all on the water: Lower Manhattan, Murray Hill and the Garment District. This is where products to sell come from, each importer with its own catalogue.

What is not in the list

The list is what the community wiki recorded, and the wiki’s stock lists were written during Early Access 0.9. Two things have been added to the game since that are not in it yet:

• The Hamptons. 1.0 added a seventh neighbourhood with its own retail strip and “a few new luxury stores”, in Hovgaard’s words. None of them has a stock list on the wiki.
• Items introduced after 0.9. Desk globes and desk calendars (added with the travel and event agencies in 0.11) and the concessions registers that came with cinemas all exist in the game — the announcements confirm it — but no public source records which store sells them. They are added here the moment one does.

IKA BOHAG’s Christmas decorations are in the list under their own category; the store only stocks them in December.

Prices are the wiki’s recorded prices from the same period. Which store sells an item rarely changes. When a store has moved, as the Factory Supply Depot and General US Trucks did when Industry City opened, the list follows Hovgaard’s notes.
