Stardew Valley – Does JojaMart Really Help the Village?

stardew-valley

In Stardew Valley, you can support the local big box store Jojamart instead of doing fetch quests for the village to rebuild the community center.

Is there any downside to selling your soul back to the Joja Corporation?

Do I lose access to any particular items or does it impact my relationships with the townsfolk if I spend my money building a warehouse rather than rebuilding the community center?

Best Answer

There is essentially no downside to choosing one side over the other.

The only minor differences are the rewards (usually a single item) received from completing each Community Center bundle, and existence of the Bulletin Board bundles in the Community Center, which will increase friendship with all villagers, except possible romantic interests, by two hearts once they're all completed. There is no Joja equivalent for these bundles.
