General Store (ToT)

The General Store is a vendor of furniture, tools and other items of sorts (usually everything else that doesn't fall into specific categories of the other merchants) in Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility. It is located in Waffle Town, next to the Meringue Clinic. 
Barbara and Simon can be found in the store most of the time. Their daughter, Phoebe can be found here when she returns to the island. The General Store is open from 9am to 5pm. It is closed on Mondays and holidays. A part-time job is available here, and you will be working until 5pm regardless of your starting time. The kitchen inside this store can be examined to obtain new cooking recipes. 
The General Store, much like Souffle Farm, operates on a three-star farm ranking system, meaning that as your farm prospers, it will gain a higher rank, and with each rank, or star, better items will be sold at the store. You will usually receive a letter notifying you of better items in stock.

===Tools===
You can buy all tools here at the General Store (provided that you have the previous version of the tool—e.g., you can only buy a Gold Sickle if you already have the Silver Sickle). It is not recommended that you buy tools from the General Store, seeing as asking Ramsey to upgrade your current tools is much cheaper (About 3 times cheaper, but you do need to find and refine ores).
