Hey guys, I was just wondering how, why and when Gracie come to your town to do a fashion check up?

i cant remember the when (i think it depends on how many upgrades youve gotten to the raccoons' general store).

but here's the why: if you pass four of gracie's fashion checks, then they set up a shop in your town on the 3rd floor of the TT Emporium. Then you can purchase all of those seasonal Gracie Grace furniture and clothing items.

plus, when you pass the fashion checks, Gracie gives you some freebies

Upgrade to the Convenience Store (T&T Mart)
To upgrade to the convenience store (T&T Mart), you must have a house rather than a tent. Upgrade from the tent by giving 10,000 bells to Tom Nook. The convenience store upgrade occurs after 12,000 bells have been spent in the shop (all players on the game card can contribute) or you have bought at least 15 items. It must be at least 10 days since you created the town.

Upgrade to the Supermarket (Super T&T)
The supermarket is called Super T&T. The supermarket upgrade occurs after you have spent 25,000 bells in the shop. It must be at least 10 days since the convenience store opened. It must be at least 10 days since the garden center opened.

Upgrade to the Home Center (T.I.Y)
The upgrade to the home center (T.I.Y) occurs after you have spent 50,000 bells in the shop. It must be at least 21 days since you built the supermarket.

Upgrade to the Department Store (T&T Emporium)
The upgrade to the department store (T&T Emporium) occurs after you have spent 100,000 bells in the shop. It must be at least 30 days since you built the home center. You also have to pass Gracie's fashion check four times before the emporium will open.

Gracie's shop is on the third floor of the T&T Emporium.
