Pierre owns and runs Pierre's General Store in the heart of Pelican Town, where he lives with his wife Caroline and their daughter Abigail. His shop is the farmer's first stop for seeds, saplings, fertiliser and cooking basics, and he also buys produce. He is a cheerful, hard-working small-business owner with a strong salesman streak. He worries constantly about competition from JojaMart, and his rivalry with Morris runs through the story of the town. His heart events are brief, but a secret hidden in his bedroom shows a more relaxed side of him.
Lore
Pierre is proud of his store and keen to keep customers coming back. He greets the farmer as his number one customer and says a little farming could inject new life into the local economy. He mentions that new stock arrives now and then, and admits that running a shop is a lot of work.
Business has been slow since Joja moved into town. He says it is hard to compete with their selection and that turning a decent profit grows harder all the time. He even hopes to win a tax break by getting on the governor's good side at the Luau.
He feels tied to his counter. He sighs about having the "behind-the-counter blues" and wishes he could go for a walk when the flowers are in bloom. Rainy days bother him, because people stay home instead of shopping. At the Feast of the Winter Star he boasts about his holiday sales and wonders whether he could invent some new holidays.
Schedule
Pierre runs his store from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon. The shop is closed on Wednesdays until the Community Center has been fully restored, after which it opens every day.
On Fridays he spends the evening at the Stardrop Saloon, relaxing after a week of work.
Relationships
Pierre lives behind his shop with Caroline and Abigail. He loves his daughter, but the two clash over her interests and her wish for a more adventurous life. Outside his family, he mostly sees other villagers when they visit his store or on Friday nights at the Saloon.
His great rival is Morris, the manager of JojaMart, who tries to lure his customers away. If the farmer restores the Community Center, JojaMart closes and Morris leaves town, which secures Pierre's business.
Gifts
Pierre loves Fried Calamari and the Price Catalogue, along with every universal love. Fried Calamari is the easier of the two. Cooking a Squid with Wheat Flour and Oil makes it. The Price Catalogue is a book from the Bookseller, and he calls it the perfect book for him.
He likes most universal likes, all eggs except the Void Egg, all Milk, Daffodils and Dandelions. Eggs and Milk from a small farm are a steady, cheap gift.
His hated list is the main trap. He hates every fish, as well as Corn, Garlic, Parsnip Soup and Tortilla, along with the universal hates. Corn is especially easy to hand him by mistake, because it grows across two seasons. He also dislikes most wild forage and mushrooms, along with most gems and foraged minerals. His birthday falls in Spring, when gifts count eight times as much.
At the Movie Theater he loves Wumbus and likes every other film. His favourite snacks are Personal Pizza and Stardrop Sorbet.
These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events
At any friendship above zero, Pierre may mail a cheque from his "Cash-back Rewards Program", with a note apologising for the stock message. The chance of a letter rises with friendship.
At three hearts, he mails the recipe for Blueberry Tart.
At six hearts, a visit to the General Store leads the farmer into Pierre's bedroom, where a secret stash is hidden behind the bookshelf. Pierre catches the farmer and begs them to keep quiet. Promising to keep the secret earns his thanks. Saying his wife deserves to know costs a large amount of friendship, and he grumbles about nosy neighbours as he looks for a new hiding spot.
Notes
In the farmer's second year, Pierre sends a letter asking for Sashimi in the Pierre's Notice quest. It pays a generous gold reward and a full heart of friendship.
On the Special Orders board outside the Mayor's Manor, he may post Pierre's Prime Produce, which asks for gold-quality vegetables placed in a bin inside his store. The reward includes a Mini-Shipping Bin. He may also post requests on the Help Wanted board outside his shop, which pay three times the item's base price.
