Nook's Cranny

Nook's Cranny (タヌキ商店) is the first incarnation of Tom Nook's store. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., the player begins the game with this store.

In, Nook's store supplies a wallpaper, a floor, a flower seed, medicine, two pieces of furniture, three tools and some writing paper. 'Nook's Cranny' is based on "nook and cranny", meaning a small corner or hole. In the back of store, two pieces of furniture stand alone. To the left of them is a long table that spans the whole the wall except for space for Nook's Point-Tracking System. In the middle there is a table for three tools. To the right of it is some vases. The store itself resembles a shed, made with wooden planks and held together with metal sheets. In fact, it is even stated that Tom Nook's shop may be Tortimer's old gardening shed that he used before he became mayor. It is the only one of Nook's shops without an automatic door.

The player must spend and/or sell a total of 25,000 Bells (30,000 Bells in ) and play for at least eight days for an upgrade.

This store is also available as a model after he or she has earned 300 points on the Tom Nook Point System in and.

In, Nook's Cranny is replaced by Nookling Junction. Nookling Junction is functionally the same as Nook's Cranny.

In, Nook's Cranny returns, but as in , it is run by Timmy and Tommy. To build one, the player needs to pay first debt to Tom Nook. In the next day after, they need to talk to Timmy while he tells the player about this store and request to have the following materials: 30 Wood, 30 Softwood, 30 Hardwood and 30 Iron Nuggets. After the player gave them, they now can place the store somewhere on the island. The store opens the next day.
