Opening a new store is 100 Wealth, and the rate we are selling means it's a drop in the bucket. We can make the space. Plus, as I said, they're stuck living in a land where they are prey and are eating green caterpillars.
Also, I suspect having them will make any attempt to steal from Wonka go very poorly for the thieves. The thought of Oompa-Loompas singing as they drag the spy out to the police is rather entertaining.

[X] Plan: In Search Of

At this rate we could keep on spamming opening stores and gain so much money we dont even know what to do with it.
Cause Im starting to think we are playing microsoft excel. This quest is fun but so far there not much challenges, then again this is a candy making quest.
 
Here are the results, and... huh. That's a first.

It's a tie, next vote is the tie-breaker.
 
[X] Plan All Aboard The Magic School Bus

Edit:
To be honest; I'm not really a fan of either of these plans because I want to focus more on upgrading & expanding the candy shop.
We have way too much money right now and should be spending it on shop investments and giving our employees raises.
Our employees really do deserve significant raises after all their hard work went into raising the candy shop's economic standing.

We have a bunch of candies to research already so why search for more right now?
Also; in the event that we rescue the Oompa-Loompas from their deadly homeland do we even have a place to house them?

Just voting to break the tie.
Here's hoping the candy gacha gives us a much coveted SSR.

Just to be frank, on a buisness level I agree with you completely, and I support sending more wealth in order to get more stores, employees, advertisments, all of those things and whatever. I just wanted to keep playing into what I've been asking for since Day 2, and go on a trip (which I didn't expect people to vote for).

But I mean, the money's still going to be there when we get back, so I wouldn't worry terribly over it. We'll still be back in time for the store's anniversary after all.
 
Is there an option though that we can choose? Can't remember any.

We made 500 revenue last turn with 25 upkeep, the upkeep has been effectively static the whole quest and there hasn't really been any high upkeep options.

We also broke 1000 wealth last turn, there has to be an option that costs that much.

    You had gone up to Joe Bucket, as he was about to start his work for the day.

    "Ah! Joe, hold up just a moment" You said, getting the elderly gentleman's attention.

    "Yes, Mr. Wonka? Is something wrong?" Joe asked curiously.

    "Oh, nothing like that. I was just wondering... you've had a lot of experience throughout your life, have you not? Was there anything interesting that happened? Maybe some stories from your youth?" You asked with a smile.

    "Ah, I remember when I was a young lad... I used to be a rough boy, practically a bully... as you can see, I grew out of it. But there was one time in my teenage years, that I bit off a tad more than I could chew... I tried to pick on this big kid, Louis... and he didn't take too kindly to my constant teasing, and... well, he nearly knocked me out... I'll tell you, I took a good long look at my life from that point, and... decided that I didn't like the man I was, so... I changed my ways, and became the Joe you know now, Mr. Wonka" Joe said with a nostalgic smile.

    "Oh, well... that's actually fascinating," You said, "Do you have any more stories?"

    "Well, there was that one time I got into a car chase, and the time I got into a fistfight with ten police officers, I managed to take out seven of them before they got the cuffs on me... and then I took the remaining three on, managed to bloody one of the officers' eyes, but they got me just as good... I wasn't a very good young man, but it did give me a few good stories to tell" Joe said.

    And so, you listened to Joe talk about his various stories for hours.

    After that, you had gotten to selling all of your products, you hoped the Chilly Chocolate Creme's and Drinkable Giant Cola Bottles did well.

    Wonka Bars Sales: 540.

    Fudgemallow Delights Sales:     207.

    Chilly Chocolate Cream Sales:     426.

    Laffy Taffy Sales:     474.

    Ice Mice Sales:     289.

    Toothy Fruity Sales: 657.

    Nerds Sales:     317.

    Never-ending Gum Sales:     514.

    Lightning Lemon Sales:     749.

    Name Gummed Up In Committee Sales:     163.

    Drinkable Giant Cola Bottle Sales:     637.

    Well, the Fudgemallow Delights and Name Gummed Up In Committee's hadn't sold much, but... the Chilly Chocolate Creme's had decent sales, and the Drinkable Giant Cola Bottle's had seemed initially popular, so that was good! The Lightning Lemons, seemingly never sold badly... which was slightly odd to you.

    You have gained 491 Wealth.

    You have lost 24 Wealth from Joe Bucket's, Fred Morter's, Ruby Williams', Kelly Jones', Candace Godiva's, Heath York's, Henry Truffle's, and Karla Honey's Employment, and 1 Wealth from Advertisement. In Total: 25 Wealth.

    You now have 1,686 Wealth.

    You had managed to make a decent amount of money from it though, so that was good! Thank God for Joe, Ruby, and Karla!

    And just before you left, Fred and Heath wanted to show off their latest research.

    Which Candy do you want Fred Morter and Heath York to Research? (Choose two)

    [] A Variation of the Wonka Bar.
    -[] Triple Dazzle Caramel Wonka Bars.
    -[] Nutty Crunch Surprise Wonka Bars.
    -[] Cherished Chestnut: This form of Wonka Bar is made of dark chocolate and roasted chestnuts, they always bring wonderful warmth both to bodies and hearts!
    -[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):

    [] Bottle Caps: A small bottle cap candy, nothing truly special about it.

    [] Jocks: Large purple candies that make you stronger the more you eat them!

    [] Every Flavor Jelly Beans: These Jelly Beans have every flavor imaginable! Chocolate, Grass, Water, Fire, Snot, and many more! So many more!

    [] Chocolate Birds: A flying chocolate bird, make sure to eat it before it melts!

    [] Ever-growing Candy Floss: Candy Floss that simply never stops growing.

    [] Bomb-Bombs. Bon Bons that (lightly) explode in your mouth! (Causes no harm to the eater, and that's a Wonka Guarantee!)

    [] Flamin' Mints: Mints, that after being eaten makes you shoot a small burst of fire from your mouth

    [] Jawmaker: The more you chew, the stronger your jaw gets. It's simply amazing!

    [] Blood Pops: A lollipop that tastes like blood.

    [] Acid Pops: An incredibly sour lollipop, you'd advertise that they could burn a hole through your tongue... they couldn't of course. You weren't legally allowed to do that. Which was such a shame.

    [] Butterbeer: A "beer" made out of butterscotch, sugar, and water, it had a very slight alcoholic content, but was deemed safe enough for children to have one.

    [] Firewhisky: Alright, now... this one? This one was for adults only. It was a whiskey that fills a person with a burning sensation, before they burp up a small gout of flame. It was absolutely fascinating.

    [] Jelly grown-ups: Jelly babies that age and taste sweeter the longer you wait, like a fine wine.

    [] Cookie Glow: Cookie Dough that warms itself up, hardening until it's like an actual cookie.

    [] Turkish Fright: A Turkish Delight that screams when you chew on it.

    [] Honey Flowers: A candy made from mixing the flower petals of a very specific flower, with honey and chocolate. It looks like a chocolate covered flower petal, and had the texture of one too.

    [] Starmix: Sweets that glow like actual Stars. Make for great nightlights.

    [] Jelly worms: Jellies that wriggle around.

    [] Ghostly Gummies: A gummy that, when taken out of its packaging, will phase through nearly everything. With the sole exception of any human parts, it's a candy and so, must be eaten after all.

    [] Sweet N Sour: Hard Candy with a sweet side like Cherry and a Sour side like Lemon. Various odd combinations.

    [] Temperamental Treats: A candy that changes its flavor depending on your mood! If you're angry? It's spicy. Sad? It's cold. Happy? It's one of the sweetest candies you've ever had! There are so many more flavors, depending on your mood! Try it now!

    [] Green Rock Candy: A glow-in-the-dark hard candy, that grows when fed certain... elements directly, and it's edible! What a great discovery.

    [] Perfectly Palletable Paints: A completely edible paint-like substance, it can be used for art and eating!

    [] Whipping Cream: Whipped Cream, that when eaten lashes out within your mouth.

    [] Walking Wafers: Wafers that, when put into your mouth, grow little legs and run around your tongue.

    [] Gelatin Goose: A goose completely made out of a gelatin-like substance.

    [] Sun Drops: An energizing citrus candy that makes you glow a warm yellow.

    [] Moon Drops: A candy with a calming vanilla flavor, that makes you feel light on your feet as if gravity has lost some of its grasp on you.

    [] Star Drops: A combination of Sun and Moon Drops, with a citrus cream flavor, that causes you to sparkle with motes of light. Must Research Sun Drops and Moon Drops to Research.

    [] Bizzy Bees: A bafflingly buzzing bee-shaped candy for the busy that taste like fresh honey of your favorite kind and have the texture of honeycomb, the more you eat the faster and better you do whatever job is ahead of you!

    [] Caramel Critters: These chittering candies covered in nuts are shaped like chipmunks, squirrels, and sometimes even elephants, and even act like them. Enjoy these nutty delights and be sure to share with the fuzzy friends they might bring you!

    [] Minty Moths: These minty little candies never get dirty and clean everything they touch, including teeth! So no need to worry about rotting teeth ever again, as these floating flakes of freshness keep you clean nice, and clean.

    [] Swifty Seas: These wavy wonders are always rolling like the sea, whenever you drink it, you gain the ability to breathe and see crystal clear under the waves and can swim as fast as any fish! It's also enough to keep anyone's thirst quenched for a full day on its own!

    [] Motor Oil Lozenges: The lozenges are clear, showing a substance that looks alarmingly like motor oil in all respects, but tastes of peppermint. Once fully dissolved, it causes the body to work at peak condition for 24 hours, with the side effect of periodic exhaust fumes coming from the ears (harmless but smells of motor oil).

    [] Cotton Clouds: For those who love fluffy foods, this special cotton candy is as light as a cloud, and moves like it too. From whispy winds to thunderstorms, this scrumptious sweet will make you feel like you're flying and bring a breeze, though careful of the occasional shocking surprise!

    [] Fox Fire: A spicy 'candy' that looks like floaty embers, warm to the touch, and yet doesn't burn. It has a slightly grilled taste which somehow works with the spice and heat for a unique sweet and savory taste, which also warms the body

    [] Autumn Apples: These caramel-covered apples reveal themselves to be just like apple pie filling when bitten into, both in texture and flavor. However, the best way to use these is to get them to make your own pie! They always take on the exact traits of how your family likes their apple pie.

    [] Eager Eggs: These simply sublime sweets are perfect for Easter! When you hide them, they'll move to different spots to make Easter egg hunts even more fun! The shell is edible and you'll find random sweets in them, occasionally even ones not being sold yet!

    [] Meowing Mellows: Kitten shaped marshmallows that come in various flavors, including: classic white, Chocolate Caramel Calico, Dark Chocolate Bombay, Orange or Caramel Tabbies, Strawberry Sphynx, and even a few bird variants Blueberry Bluejays, Raspberry Robins, and Cherry Cardinals

    [] Twisted Twirlers: These lengths of licorice come in many flavors! From black to grape, orange, peach, cream, mint, and many more! Enjoy these much-needed explorations of the potential of licorice!

    And finally, after that... you had set off to the Bermuda Triangle! Rumors had said that it was the gateway to a whole new world of sweets! Oh, you were so excited to go... you just had to figure out how to get there.

    How do you get there?

    [] Take a plane. 20 Wealth.
    [] Take a boat. 10 Wealth.
    [] Take a helicopter. 30 Wealth.
    [] Take a yacht there, why can't you go in style? 100 Wealth.
    ___

    Just finished the update, and now... I'm going to sleep. Goodnight everybody, there's no moratorium whatsoever, so get to voting right away.

    Oh, and please use a Plan Format.

    Oh, and I started a new quest! Super Quest

    It seems more Wonka's speed to be rifing around in a personal boat. Especially after I remember the boat ride in the movie, how can I picture him in anything else? And the candy fits in nicely.
    Ah, found it.
