It's okay. Some sound and animation would help give the feeling that something was happening here.

The motivation to expand isn't really there because you can make money off just a small shop.

I didn't really get what was going on, but I really liked the idea. Some feedback when I clicked around would have helped.

Not too sure what to do here, but it kinda reminded me of this millionnaire tycoon click-game where you have to be strategic what you buy and it auto generates more income to then buy more things. I went up to the 4 digit income in your game but I still wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing...

Seems like this could be a fun game though!

Like others said, it's not clear what is happening when I click "Buy Small"... Small product? Seems like it takes up space and earns me money after a few seconds, but nothing changes in the graphics to indicate anything. I'm not sure if the Expand button works or if I just need a lot of money?
