3.1.03C Chain Store Bonus Enhancement?

[WilliamMGary]

I have 4 Supermarket stores selling the same product (majority in the exact same order & price of course) and I don't have a retail chain bonus and I remember in earlier betas it was effortless to get the bonus. I checked our home market and the stores there are in higher customer index areas but only has 2 stars.


The Customer Index for the market for the 4 Supermarket stores where I don't have a retail bonus is as follows: 24, 48, 30, 51

Was a change made in any recent betas?

Actually only specialty stores have chain store bonus. (e.g. a footwear store is a specialty store. A supermarket is not considered as a specialty store in the game.)

We need to get a Whole Foods stores that only can sell Food products .

Thank you I didn't realize that. What about Convenience stores...can a supermarket get any other type of bonus?
