On the first day, put a pet shop on the third spot over, and a news stand on the second spot over, too. In those times, I've found the best strategy in order of buildings is: Electronics - Boutique - Pet Shop - Toy Store - Jewelry - Restauraunt - Furniture - Market then Bus Stop - Bench - News Stand - Music - bench - Music - News - Bench. It is a very addicting game to play even if I'm doing other things, just let it run in the background. I've played Shopping Street through probably 10+ times on multiple sites.
