Nookington's

Nookington's is the largest expansion for Tom Nook's shop. In this expansion a whole new floor is opened up where furniture, wallpaper, and flooring is sold. Also, on the top floor Timmy and Tommy replace Tom Nook. In Wild World, after Tom Nook expands into Nookington's, the Shampoodle will also move into it to provide hairstyle makeovers for players at the cost of 3,000 bells. To get Tom Nook to expand into Nookington's, the player must spend 240,000 bells and have a friend shop at the store. This shop has an automatic door. In City Folk, you do not need a friend to shop at Nookway, and you only need to pay 150,000 bells for Nook to upgrade to Nookington's.

It is said that Nookington's closes earlier because of the fact that it could be Timmy and Tommy's bed time, thus there is nobody able to work upstairs, completely closing down the shop for the night. It is possible to see jewelry on the first floor, even though it cannot be found inside.

Upgrading in Wild World
To upgrade to Nookington's in Wild World, the player must spend 240,000 Bells at Nookway and a friend must buy something in the player's town as well. This creates problems for those who do not have a friend that they can connect with, and further problems if players do not have a sufficient internet connection using the built-in Wi-Fi using the DS (to connect to the internet) or Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (that connects the DS or Wii to the internet using the computer) - they will be unable to upgrade. There is no other way to get Nookington's, though the problem can be solved by exchanging friend codes with another player over the internet. However, some Wild World game cards may have a glitch and will upgrade from Nookway to Nookington's whether a visitor shopped at the store or not. Online forums concerning the game will generally feature several people looking to travel and make new friends, with a risk.

In City Folk, there is not a requirement for a friend to visit.
