Stardew Valley JojaMart Guide

Stardew Valley JojaMart Guide

Did you ever want to learn more about JojaMart Stardew Valley? Whether you're for Joja's cost-cutting cause or whether you think that Stardew Valley can do without Pierre's store and sending the corporates packing, there is a heck of a lot more to this company than you could ever hope to know. In keeping with this notion, today we're delving deep into the Stardew Valley JojaMart and Morris, its owner, to help you better understand the unique role of this brand within society.

What is Joja in Stardew Valley?

Before we go any further, let's first start by defining what, exactly, Joja (or JojaMart) actually is in Stardew Valley. To put it simply, JojaMart Stardew Valley is a large store owned by the Joja Corporation and run by Morris, who lives in Pelican Town as long as the store is open. However, Morris will move out of Pelican Town if the JojaMart closes, something to keep in mind.

Where is the JojaMart Located in Pelican Town?

Throughout the course of Stardew Valley, the fate of Stardew Valley JojaMart can differ depending on what options are taken. If you go the path of the Joja path, the Community Center will be converted into a Joja Warehouse, which shows the growing corporate takeover of Pelican Town by Joja. On the other hand, reopening the Community Center causes JojaMart Stardew to shut down entirely, and Morris has to pack up and go. This shift is perhaps the most concrete example of how your decisions affect the world.

What Does JojaMart Sell?

JojaMart generally sells many of the same items as Pierre’s store, including seeds, furniture, home decor, and even some cooking ingredients. The available choice of seeds will vary depending on the season and are as follows:

• Spring:
• Parsnips (25g)
• Beans (75g)
• Cauliflowers (100g)
• Potatoes (62g)
• Tulips (25g)
• Kale (87g)
• Jazz (37g)
• Grass starter (125g)
• Summer:
• Tomatoes (62g)
• Peppers (50g)
• Wheat (12g)
• Radishes (50g)
• Melons (100g)
• Hops (75g)
• Poppies (125g)
• Spangles (62g)
• Sunflowers (125g)
• Grass starter (125g)
• Fall:
• Corn (187g)
• Eggplants (25g)
• Pumpkins (125g)
• Amaranth (87g)
• Grapes (75g)
• Yams (75g)
• Bok choy (62g)
• Cranberries (300g)
• Sunflowers (125g)
• Fairy plants (250g)
• Wheat (12g)
• Grass starter (125g)

As experienced players of Stardew Valley may have noticed, the base prices for seeds at JojaMart are actually higher than at Pierre’s store, the only exception being sunflower seeds. This seems to contradict the claim made by many of the village residents that JojaMart is cheaper; however, this may be because the Joja Membership lowers most product prices. Once the player has purchased a JojaMart Membership, the prices will fall to match Pierre’s prices.

What are the Benefits of Shopping With JojaMart?

There are several key benefits of shopping with JojaMart that are worth keeping in mind:

1. Joja is open for longer than Pierre’s: As you might expect with a supermarket, Joja’s store has good opening times. As such, you can shop between 9am and 11pm, and Joja doesn’t have a day when it is closed. In contrast, Pierre’s is only open between 10am and 5pm, and critically, it is closed on Wednesdays—making it very impractical when you need new seeds.
2. JojaMart allows you to pay for developments: Completing all of the Community Center bundles can be a major chore, and this also requires at least one year’s worth of gameplay to progress through all four months. Contrastingly, completing upgrades with the Joja Community Development Form can be completed much more easily—provided you have the money, of course!

What are the Risks of Shopping with JojaMart?

While shopping with JojaMart can offer a number of benefits, it’s not necessarily a quick decision, since there are also several drawbacks to keep in mind. Some of the main issues that come with buying your seeds or ingredients from Joja over Pierre’s include the following points:

1. Joja’s prices are usually higher. Until you have purchased a Joja Membership, you’ll have to pay more for your seeds at JojaMart than at Pierre’s. This is true for all but a few products.
2. The selection of seeds is smaller with JojaMart: There are numerous seeds sold at Pierre’s that are never available in JojaMart, such as garlic, blueberries, artichokes, red cabbage, and rice. In addition, you can only purchase corn seeds from Joja in the fall, whereas these can also be planted and sown in the summer at Pierre’s.
3. JojaMart does not sell any fruit tree saplings: Whereas Pierre’s sells a range of fruit tree saplings, these are never available at JojaMart, limiting the range of crops you can grow.
4. Completing developments with Joja is expensive: If you decide to go down the JojaMart route rather than completing the Community Center, be prepared for a lot of expenses to complete the town’s projects—135,000g for the main projects themselves plus 5,000g for the Joja Membership, and a further 500,000g to eventually build the movie theater in town.

Final Thoughts

Joja might be seen as the main antagonist of Stardew Valley, but their presence in Pelican Town can no doubt still be handy. As such, considering what they offer and how siding with Joja might impact your gameplay can be incredibly useful when deciding which route you’d like to go down.
