What is Raccoon Retail?
Raccoon Retail is a 3D supermarket simulation game created by Pelican Party Studios and launched in May 2023. Players control a diligent raccoon custodian operating a motorized sweeper inside a bustling grocery market.

Janitorial progression and store upgrades
The central progression in Raccoon Retail links floor cleanliness directly to business income. Every shopper walking through the aisles drops discarded packaging and food wrappers. Allowing trash to accumulate reduces store efficiency, so your janitor must constantly patrol the tile floors. Once your cart capacity reaches its limit, you must steer outside to the dumpster to deposit the load and collect your payment. These funds can be immediately reinvested into retail upgrades that raise commercial revenue and unlock vehicle improvements such as boost speed.
Tips and strategy
- Monitor trash hotspots: Focus on sweeping lanes where customer foot traffic is heaviest, since messy shoppers drop litter there constantly.
- Unload before full capacity: Head toward the outside dumpster slightly before your cart fills up completely to avoid wasting travel time while unable to collect trash.
- Unlock speed early: Prioritize purchasing the driving acceleration upgrade so you can cross the market floor in significantly less time.
- Sweep in continuous circuits: Plan driving routes that loop through neighboring aisles rather than zigzagging back and forth across cleaned sections.
- Clear paths to exits: Keep aisles near the exit doors spotless so your trips to the exterior dumpster remain smooth and unobstructed.
