Discover when and how to unlock the Apparel Shop in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Learn about Mabel's visits and the requirements to get your own Able Sisters store.
This page details the progression of unlocking various features and buildings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, including the Apparel Shop.
Key Progression Points:
- Day 1: Player places their tent, starting villagers' tents, donates 5 bugs or fish to Tom Nook, and chooses a location for the museum.
- Day 2: Blathers arrives. Donating 15 bugs, fish, or fossils to Blathers begins museum construction. The vaulting pole recipe is unlocked. Materials can be donated to Timmy to build Nook's Cranny. The airport unlocks for multiplayer and mystery tours. Gulliver may appear.
- Day 3: Nook's Cranny can be built. Mabel visits Nook's Cranny, and the ladder recipe is unlocked. Players can place a new bridge, three villager houses, and craft furniture. If the house is upgraded, Tom Nook provides 50 fence posts. Harvey may appear, allowing visits to Harv's Island.
The Apparel Shop, run by the Able Sisters, becomes accessible as part of the game's progression, with Mabel initially visiting Nook's Cranny before the shop itself is established.
