Best FiveM Supermarket Script in 2026

Three scripts, one search term

Ask ten server owners for the best supermarket script and you will get answers from three different product categories. The first group means a shop: a marker outside a 24/7, a menu of items, a price each, money out and items in. The second group means a robbery: the same building, but the interesting verb is holding it up while a dispatch alert goes out and a cooldown starts. The third group means a business: a player buys the store, orders stock at wholesale, sets the retail price, hires staff and keeps whatever margin survives.

These are not tiers of the same thing. They are three resources that happen to sit on the same coordinates, they are normally written by different people, and a server that wants all three installs all three. The prices are wildly different for a reason. A buy-items shop is a config file and a menu. A robbery is a state machine with a cooldown. An ownership system is an economy, a permissions model and a persistence layer, which is why it costs roughly what the other two cost together and why the free options in that third category come with the longest list of caveats.

The shop players buy from

This is the smallest of the three and the one most likely to be already installed. If you run ox_inventory, you have a shops system whether you wanted one or not, and it is a good one: shops restrict access by group and by licence, and each shop can trade in a different currency, so a black market that runs on dirty money and a casino counter that runs on poker chips are the same feature with a different key. On QBCore the equivalent is qb-shops, the official QBCore resource for the job, GPL-3.0, with shops defined in config.lua and a JSON folder.

So what does a paid shop actually sell you? Presentation and merchandising. The 0Akre shops script adds a cart rather than a one-click purchase, rotating sale discounts, a card or cash choice at the till, weapon licence checks in front of the ammunation, and black markets that change location. Var-Shop, ours, is the same category: a React basket checkout, 19 prefilled locations, 18 items with names, categories and per-unit prices plus an optional SQL seed, and a theme you recolour from a variables.css file. None of that is mechanics. It is the difference between a menu and a shop, which matters on a server selling itself on immersion and matters not at all on a server where players buy a sandwich because the hunger bar told them to.

The store players rob

Store robbery is a separate resource and by far the cheapest layer on this page, which is almost entirely because of one free script. lation_247robbery is GPL-3.0, runs on ESX, QBCore, QBox and Ox, and reads the store from whichever 24/7 map you already run, with explicit support for the default GTA V interiors, the Gabz 24/7 and FM Shop supermarkets. Rewards come from registers and a safe and can be paid in cash, dirty money or items. There is a questionnaire hacking minigame, requirements you can set before a robbery starts including items and a minimum number of police online, cooldowns that are either per player or global, integrations with the common dispatch resources, and logging to Fivemanage, Fivemerr or Discord.

That list is longer than most paid robbery scripts manage, and it is the reason the paid end of this category is priced where it is. Z-Scripts sells its shop robbery at 5.00 USD for the escrowed build and 10.00 USD for the open source one, which is the lowest price in this entire guide. When the free option is that strong, vendors either undercut on price or differentiate on something else, usually a longer heist chain or a bespoke interior. Whatever you pick, the two settings that decide whether store robbery ruins your server are the police minimum and the cooldown scope. A per-player cooldown with no police requirement means six people rob the same shop in rotation for an hour.

The store players own and run

This is the category people usually mean when they type supermarket rather than shop, and it is where the money and the disagreement are. The minimum viable version is a shop with an owner column: someone buys it, stocks it, sets prices, and takings land in an account. flex-ownedshops does exactly that for QBCore and costs nothing, with shops ownable by a player, a job or a gang, and a duty point, a customer access point and a management interface placed per shop. Read its README before committing, because no licence is stated on the repository, the author writes that it is not fully tested with several people and that the buy feature is not fully tested either, and the guidance there is to fix things yourself rather than wait for an update. It wants an SQL script, qb-menu and qb-target.

The paid tier adds the parts that make ownership a job rather than a title. RX Advanced Player Stores, 24.49 EUR at the time of reading and listed at 34.99 EUR, covers ESX and QBCore on ox_lib and fmLib, and lets you create any store type at all: supermarket, gun store, pawnshop and whatever else you configure. Staff are hired with wages, promotions and demotions, stock is restocked, opening hours are set, a store wallet tracks the finances, and there is a robbery layer where a store can be hit for a percentage of its balance with security upgrades that lengthen the timer or require tools. Lation Shops Creator sits in the same bracket at 22.49 USD, discounted from 29.99 USD, builds any shop in game and supports nine different inventory systems. Both are escrowed with the integration files left editable.

Where free is genuinely the right answer

Two of the three categories have a free option good enough that paying is hard to justify. For a shop players buy from, ox_inventory shops covers most servers outright, and if you are on QBCore and want something preconfigured, lusty94_shops is MIT licensed and arrives with supermarket, liquor, fuel, hardware, weed, ammunation, black market, prison canteen, leisure and job shops already written, working with ox_inventory or qb-inventory and ox_target or qb-target. For robbery, lation_247robbery is not merely acceptable, it is the reference implementation the paid scripts are compared against.

Ownership is the exception. flex-ownedshops is the only free entry and it is honest about being unfinished, QBCore only, and dependent on qb-menu and qb-target. That is the pattern across FiveM generally, and the trade between a readable repository you maintain yourself and an escrowed build somebody else maintains is unpacked properly in the escrow versus open source guide. The short version for this category: free is right for the shop and the robbery, and is a project rather than an install for the ownership layer.

The market in September 2026

Every price below was read from the vendor page, the release thread or the repository in September 2026. Read the third column before the second one, because a 5.00 USD robbery and a 24.49 EUR ownership system are not competitors and comparing them on price says nothing. Where a vendor prices in USD the figure is left in USD rather than converted, and two of the paid entries were showing a sale at the time of reading, which is noted rather than hidden.

Two things fall out of that table. The first is how cheap the mechanics are when a strong free competitor exists, which is the entire robbery row. The second is the open source premium on the buy-items shop: 0Akre charges 12.10 EUR for the escrowed build and 32.67 EUR for the same roughly 1,550 lines with the code readable. That is 2.7 times the price for access rather than for features, and it is a useful reminder that in this category you are often paying for permission to edit rather than for what the script does.

Where Var Supermarket Simulator fits, honestly

Supermarket Simulator is squarely in the third category and it is narrower than its competitors on purpose. RX and Lation let you create any shop type; this one builds supermarkets and nothing else. What it spends that focus on is simulating the shop floor. There are no hardcoded locations at all: stores are created in game through an admin wizard that places the store zone, the management PC, the supplier, the customer spawns, the delivery point and the back-room entrance, so it adapts to whatever mapping you already run. Inside, a 3D builder with a gizmo, grid snap, 15-degree rotation and collision checks places up to 500 props per store from 143 buyable props across 24 editor categories.

The retail loop is where the difference shows. 92 sellable products across seven categories sit behind nine unlockable licences, and real players receive real inventory items, with ox_inventory, ESX and QBCore install files included. Restock costs are not fixed: a wholesale market drifts them on a 15-minute cycle between a floor and a ceiling, and the owner sets retail prices against that. NPC customers arrive with moods, voice lines and queues, pay by cash or card under three traffic rhythms, and some of them shoplift and can be chased and tackled. Checkout is a manual scanning minigame on a DUI register screen with change counting and a Perfect Scan bonus, until the owner unlocks self-checkout at 25k or an NPC cashier at 20k plus a daily wage. Staff are real players on an auto-created framework job with about 30 granular permissions and payroll cycles that penalise late payment. Cleanliness decays with traffic and drags sales down until somebody picks up a broom. If you want the full mechanics rather than the buying decision, that is a separate read in the Supermarket Simulator guide.

Now the honest limits. It only does supermarkets, so if the plan is one system covering the gun store and the pawnshop as well, buy RX or Lation instead. Because nothing is hardcoded, every store is built by hand in game, which is a feature when you have custom mapping and a chore when you wanted three shops live in ten minutes. It requires the bundled var_supermarket_stream resource for its shelves, fridges, register screen and interior, so it is not a drop-in skin over a 24/7 you already have. Persistence is JSON files with automatic backups rather than SQL tables, which removes a migration step but also means you cannot query store revenue from the same database as everything else, and oxmysql is only touched to auto-create the framework jobs. Locales ship in English, French and Spanish. And the crime layer is shoplifting, not armed robbery, so if you want players holding up an owned store you are back to a robbery script alongside it, or to RX, which builds that in.

What to check before buying anything here

Four questions settle most of these purchases. Which of the three categories is this, in one sentence, and does the product page say so plainly. Does it name your inventory resource by name, because ownership and simulator products have to hand items to real players and the integration is where support tickets come from. What removes money or stock from an owned store, since a business with no loss mechanic prints currency for as long as it stays open. And is the price you are reading a sale price, because two of the paid entries in this guide were discounted on the day they were read and will not be forever.

After that, install it on a test server and do the boring checks: the resmon value while idling near a shop marker, whether the till still balances after a player disconnects mid-purchase, and whether an owner can set a retail price of zero. If you are still filling out the wider shortlist, the framework specific lists live in the ESX scripts and QBCore scripts guides.
