Nook's Cranny (タヌキ商店 Tanuki Shōten?, Tanuki Shop) is the first incarnation of Tom Nook's store in Animal Crossing series games prior to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and is the name of both incarnations of Timmy and Tommy's store in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. "Nook's Cranny" is based on "nook and cranny," meaning a small corner or hole.

At Nook's Cranny, the player may buy and sell items for Bells, the main in-game currency. The shop appears in all main Animal Crossing series games except Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and the player has access to the shop either from the start (prior to New Horizons) or early-on in the game (New Horizons).

Appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing[edit]

In Animal Crossing, Nook's Cranny sells one piece of furniture, one piece of clothing, one umbrella, one or two tools, two flower seeds, one sapling, one wallpaper, one carpet, and one item of stationery. Initially, the only tool in stock is the shovel, but more tools become available as the player spends and/or sells items.[nb 6] At 3,000 Bells-worth of items, the net can be in stock. After an additional 5,000 Bells-worth, the fishing rod can be in stock. After another additional 4,000 Bells-worth,[nb 7] the axe can be in stock.

Once a total of 25,000 Bells are spent and/or sold,[nb 6] the shop will temporarily close on the following day to be upgraded to Nook 'n' Go on the day after that.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk[edit]

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Nook's Cranny supplies a wallpaper, a carpet, a flower seed, medicine, two pieces of furniture, three tools and some writing paper. 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. Nook's Cranny is also available as a model after the player has earned 300 points on the Tom Nook Point System.

The player must spend and/or sell a total of 25,000 Bells in Wild World or 30,000 Bells in City Folk and play for at least eight days for the store to upgrade to Nook 'n' Go.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons[edit]

The opening celebration of Nook's Cranny in New Horizons with the player, Timmy and Tommy, Sheldon and Agnes

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nook's Cranny returns, but as in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, it is staffed by Timmy and Tommy. In order to build Nook's Cranny, the player needs to repay the first debt to Tom Nook. The following day, they need to talk to Timmy and he tells the player about the store and requests to have the following materials: 30 wood, 30 softwood, 30 hardwood, and 30 iron nuggets. Timmy only accepts materials in their full stacks of 30 but does not require all four materials to be paid at once. After giving Timmy all the required building materials, Timmy asks the player to decide on the store's location. The store opens the next day, and the Nooklings and villagers may hold an opening celebration.

After 30 days have elapsed and buying and selling roughly 200,000 Bells combined and Mabel visits the island at least once, Nook's Cranny will expand into a larger general store. Unlike previous games, the store retains the name Nook's Cranny and is the only upgrade for the store. This expanded store is bigger in both size and selection, with some changes being more items being available per day, having two hot items instead of one, selling better tools, and selling 2.0 furniture.

Seasonal items are stocked at Nook's Cranny alongside the regular selection during certain months of the year. These seasonal items are specific to one color variant for each island. During the summer months, the seasonal selection will switch between a surfboard and a retro fan. During the winter months, the seasonal selection will switch between a round space heater and celebratory candles.

There is a drop-off box outside Nook's Cranny where the player can sell items. The box can be accessed whether the store is open or closed, and any items dropped off are sold for 80% of their full sell price due to "handling fees." The drop-off box totals the Bells received from all sold items in a day, and the next day the Bells are automatically deposited into the player's savings when Timmy or Tommy calls the player to notify them the next day. Turnips cannot be sold at the drop-off box, and hot item prices are only valid in-store.

Trivia[edit]

  • In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it is possible to technically remain inside Nook's Cranny indefinitely by entering a menu, activating dialogue with Timmy or Tommy, or, if not upgraded, sitting on the chair in the bottom-left before the store closes. However, ending these following processes will immediately result in the store closing as it normally would, albeit at a later time.
