ggg-2 3,557 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Out of all of the mane 6, it seems, at least to me, Rarity has the most everyday customers. However, unlike Applejack who has family that can pick up the slack and help out in her place, she seems to run her business alone. That said, What does Rarity do when she and her friends go out? Does she have somepony mind the boutique for her, or does she simply close until she comes home? Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Spectrum 1,932 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 I think she just closes it, honestly. She would not have Sweetie Belle work there for obvious reasons, and until proven otherwise, I think she doesn't have any employees. 4 Applejack Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindShear 545 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 I would assume she has certain hours when her store is open, and she wouldn't go places with her friends during those hours. After that I assume she just closes and locks the store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravelord Neat-O 305 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 She has Opal watching over the store. There, mystery solved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,880 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 She probably takes a lot of extended breaks Poor girl is either working or socializing - plus it seems most of her garmets are made to order. It wouldn't hurt business too badly for her to get off of the sewing machine for a bit to enjoy herself Also, Rarebear makes her own hours. I live in a small town with a bunch of shops and little corporate influence, and they're not open until 10 at night. Some only go from 11 to 2. Seeing as Ponyville is a rural community like my own, we musn't rule out the possibility her hours are shorter 2 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!! Check out the Rarity Fan Club!

Banul 3,831 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Closes, probably. We don't know what kind of hours her store has. I think its safe to assume that her time with friends happens during closing hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JLmle 5,477 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Actually, high-fashion boutiques such as hers are often by appointment only, so she'd know exactly when customers are coming in... Though I'd imagine that as generous as she is, she'd have the shop open when she was home, and see anypony that stopped by without an appointment... 4 Nightmare Night Fan Club signature by Scootaloodle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPirateX 600 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 She probably just closes it. It's her shop, she can do whatever she wants with it. Either that, or Opal somehow takes charge. At the end of Rarity take Manehatten, I seriously hoped she was going to hire Coco! But nooo Dx Can't add an important character can we!?!?!?! DxCoco Pommel wasn't that important. Sure she helped Rarity out, but other than that she didn't do much (more than Trash Sentry, at least).

Nulln 755 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Probably just closes it. So far all of the customers have been custom fitted, so she's probably by appointment only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espurr 449 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 Barely anyone shows up anyways, but I assume it just stays open. The customer will realize she's not there and go off to find her. She mostly makes new line clothing not really anything individual. Other than her other friends, is there really anyone there to come in to buy things from her?

ponylaces 1,870 September 29, 2014 Share September 29, 2014 I think Rarity has specific days where the store is closed, so she can have some free time. hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance64 7,059 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 With the Boutique? Gee, I dunno, never really thought about it... her place of business is her house though, so I imagine her business hours are whatever time she wants to put into it, so whenever she feels like, it's closed. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTom 2,271 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 Funny: I'm planning on making a game where you can play as any of the main 6 and switch any time. If you're not playing as Rarity, she's minding her shop and getting a pretty good number of customers. As soon as you switch to her, she realizes she's seen her last customer off, there's no line (at least for now), so she hangs up a sign on the doorknob of her store saying "Be back soon!" and then you can play as her and walk around Ponyville. I figure that's pretty close to how canon would work, too: she'd hang up a sign if she weren't there, saying how soon she'd be likely to get back. Help the main six stop the Weather Factory Meltdown!

TheJLeeTeam 914 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 Not many ponies are there so I would say Rarity closes the store when she goes out. Sweetie Belle would be too young to handle running a fashion shop. Maybe if she handled it, her cutie mark would symbolize running a clothing store.

Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 I'm gonna guess she just closes her shop. She kind of owns the place so she can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
