Realistically,Stardew Valleyplayers should choose to complete the Community Center to appease the home-grown and small-town life. But, it gives a choice for free thinking. Here we will outline both options, and the pros and cons of each as well as anything else that should be taken into consideration. Note that starting either the Community Center or JojaMart’s completion will mean that the other cannot be chosen or worked on from that point. Choose wisely!

Community Center

First up is the Community Center. Players are introduced to it early in the game - upon entering Pelican Town, a cutscene will start with MayorLewisunlocking the door and showing the player in, and then asking them to fix the apparent ‘rat problem’. Hint: it isn’t rats, it is mystical, round creatures called Junimo. The player will receive an invitation letter from the Wizard, where they will be shown how to read the strange writing inside the Community Center. Then, all signs inside the Center can be understood, and the true quest begins…finish all the bundles inside!

Now onto the pros and cons of choosing tocomplete the Community Center.

Other Considerations

JojaMart

WhatisJoja? In short, it is a giant mega-corporation that is trying to muscle in on Pelican Town and cement its business. It is actually the very thing that the player’s character ran away from - leaving a corporate job working for Joja in the city and moving to the farm to start anew. Choosing to purchase the rewards throughJojaMart instead of the Community Centerhas some pros and cons, but overall is a little unfulfilling.

Which One Should You Choose?

Really, it depends on the player - and what kind of experience they want. Or even what knowledge they have; it can be trial and error on the behalf of the players' morals to decide which to choose. But let’s be honest…the Community Center is better for any green-thumbed person!
