After fully stocking a floor, sometimes instead of getting a minor bonus, I receive a message saying that a buying frenzy is going on. To me, it appears to be randomly generated, but what triggers a buying frenzy as appose to fully stocked bonus?

Excellent question, as always, BTW . . .– David MCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 1:20

I've been looking into this, and first of all, your screenshot shows that the "Fully Stocked" bonus is the buying frenzy, and that's what I've seen...there's only 1 type of bonus possible. I believe this works the same way as in Tiny Tower, where you get a bux for a Fully Stocked floor.
What I've seen is that this will happen with floors that have all 3 items nearly fully stocked, but it will also happen when 1 of the items is nearly full, and another item is nearly empty. This leads me to believe that the trigger is something like: if 3 items stocked & at least 2 items > 90% stocked, then award fully stocked bonus. I have yet to see a fully stocked bonus where this hasn't been met.

1From what I have seen, you get a coin bonus (no popup, +coins in the bottom left of your screen) or fully stocked frenzy bonus– ZeroCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 20:09

1I updated the original question to show both. The +41 is the coin bonus I got when fully stocked. (didnt get buying frenzy)– ZeroCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 20:17

@ZeroStack - I once got an Imperial Bux for fully stocking! I was in such shock-and-awe that I forgot to take a screenshot. But that's possible too. Commented Dec 14, 2013 at 0:37
I believe it to be random. But, it does seem to primarily happen in my quicker stocked levels. For example, I see it mostly in Mos Espa Cafe, Workout Center, etc. Never in say Marriage Center, or Lightsaber Craft.
UPDATE: Of course, right after writing this I started getting buying frenzies on all levels.

lol, I agree that it is random, but it is possible that the only reason it seems that we get them more on fast levels is because they are fast, so we tend to stock them more often!– char1esCommented Dec 11, 2013 at 16:05 -

1The more you play straight, the more you get buying frenzies because it's related to the amount of stock you have on a floor. Perhaps there's more leeway on floors with longer stock times... Commented Dec 11, 2013 at 19:49
