Main Street

Main Street is a location in. It is a shopping district located to the north of every player's town, and is accessed by going through the train crossing. Initially the street is sparsely populated, with several dilapidated buildings. As the town is improved, and after certain prerequisites are met, additional facilities will become available to the player and the background music can change. The locations of all buildings are fixed, excluding the Museum, which will be found on either the western or eastern end of the Main Street.

At the beginning of the game, only the Able Sisters, Nookling Junction, Nook's Homes, the Post Office, the bottom floor of the Museum, and the Photo Booth are available to the player for use. All other facilities must be unlocked and constructed.

Able Sisters
The Able Sisters, run by Mable and Sable, are tailors who sell a variety of clothing as well as allowing the creation of custom patterns. In an adjacent room, Labelle sells hats, accessories and umbrellas.

Club LOL
Club LOL is owned by Dr. Shrunk, who will teach emotions to the player, if the player brings him food. Also, K.K. Slider performs as Club LOL's DJ, and acts as the club's DJ every night except Saturday, which is when he performs with his guitar.

Dream Suite
The Dream Suite is a building run by Luna, a tapir, and allows the player to access the towns of other players. In order for the Dream Suite to be constructed, Isabelle must be talked to when she is found sleeping at her desk in the Town Hall. Upon doing so, the secretary will suggest that a Dream Suite should be constructed, and begins to offer it as a project.

Fortune House
After receiving 20 fortunes from Katrina during her visits, she will express a wish to open up a permanent business in Main Street. All fortunes must be received by players in the town or they do not count towards getting Katrina's permanent business. This shop allows the player to receive fortunes more frequently, and buy items for 10,000 Bells that remove the effects of bad luck.

General store
Unlike previous games, the general store is run by Timmy and Tommy Nook instead of Tom Nook. The store sells a variety of goods including furniture, tools and stationary. The store has five stages of growth, beginning as a simple shack known as Nookling Junction, and culminating into a sprawling department store through upgrades. T.I.Y will incorporate the Garden Center, and T&T Emporium will feature GracieGrace on the third floor.

Garden Shop
The Garden Shop is run by Leif, who sells flowers, trees and gardening tools. As the general store expands, Leif will merge his business with the Nooklings' and begin to sell an expanded selection of garden goods including bushes and fruit.

Happy Home Showcase
This is a special area of the player's town that will show other players that have been detected with StreetPass. The StreetPassed players will be wandering around their homes. The player will be able to see their Town Pass Card.

Kicks
At Kicks, the player can buy shoes and socks from the store's owner, Kicks.

Museum
The town's Museum features four exhibits: Fossils, Fish, Insects and Artwork. Initially, the exhibits are empty, but the player can donate items to the facility by giving them to Blathers. An additional floor is available as a public works project, which will contain a gift shop and four rentable exhibition spaces, which may be customized at will.

Nook's Homes
Nook's Homes is a real estate agency run by Tom Nook, who is able to construct the player's house and sells a variety of exterior modifications including doors, walls, roofs, mailboxes and fences. Lyle is also found in the agency, acting as a representative of the Happy Room Academy (now known as the Happy Home Academy).

Photo Booth
The Photo Booth is located at the western end of the street, and allows custom pictures for the Town Pass Card. While taking their picture, players can use one of their learned emotions for a pose.

Post Office
The Post Office is run by Pelly during the day and Phyllis during the night. The player can send and save letters and use the Automatic Bell Dispenser to deposit and withdraw bells and repay loans for his or her house.

Shampoodle
Located above the Able Sisters, Shampoodle is run by Harriet who is able to change the player's hairstyle and provide a Mii Mask. Fourteen days after the player's first hairstyle change, she will also provide a contact lens service, allowing eye color to be altered.
