How To Upgrade Nook's Cranny In Animal Crossing: New Horizons

In the early stages of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players will assist with the construction of the game's shop, Nook's Cranny. However, this small store is not the end of the road for Timmy and Tommy's entrepreneurial endeavors, as it is indeed possible to upgrade Nook's Cranny in ACNH, and some players are sure to be curious about exactly how that is done.

Currently, there is a great deal of confusion about upgrading Nook's Cranny in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and unfortunately there is not a fully verified method for getting it done at this time. With that said, there are two criteria that some players suggest will prompt the upgrade when met, and fans can focus on fulfilling these criteria now if they so choose. However, many players indicate that they are not seeing an upgrade after meeting these criteria, and this guide will be updated when all the details have come to light.

The first criteria that some say will lead to an upgrade of Nook's Cranny when fulfilled is simply spending 70,000 Bells in the shop. With the stock at Nook's Cranny changing every day, this level of expenditure is certainly easy enough to accomplish, and players are sure to spend a great deal more as they furnish their homes. However, many players report having spent well past 70,000 Bells with no upgrade, which certainly suggests that there is more to it than that.

Indeed, some claim that not only do players need to spend an appropriate amount of Bells at the shop, they must also reach the 28th day to upgrade Nook's Cranny in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. That said, there are players that have reportedly used time traveling in ACNH and are still not seeing an upgrade at this 28 day mark. Additionally, there are fans that indicate that their shops have been upgraded much earlier than that, which throws this requirement into question.

Unfortunately for those players that really want to focus on upgrading Nook's Cranny in ACNH, the current best approach is seemingly to simply keep making purchases from the shop and keep improving one's island. Ultimately, pursuing both of these avenues will lead to the upgrade of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Nook's Cranny, and again this guide will be updated when everything required to prompt the renovation is fully known.
