How to unlock Able Sisters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Unlocking the Able Sisters clothing shop actually takes quite longer than most other buildings in your town. So before you build the shop, you will first need to unlock Mable’s visits to the island. After helping Timmy and Tommy build Nook’s Cranny, you will have to go to their new shop where you will find them having a conversation with Mable. Once you’re there, you will be able to hear that they want her to visit the town to sell her wares.

Soon after, you will spot Mable in the Center Plaza below Resident Services on certain days of the week, including on Saturday and Sunday. She will carry a limited range of clothing which you will be able to try on before purchasing. If you manage to purchase a total of 5 items during two of her visits to the island and spend over 5,000 bells on clothing and accessories, Mable will express her interest to open a shop on your island on her next visit.

After she talks about opening her new shop, she will give you a plot to place. Mable will inform you that she doesn't need the crafting materials as Timmy and Tommy have offered her the leftovers from building Nook’s Cranny. The construction will take up to two days, and the Able Sisters should be open for business permanently.

Once the shop opens, you will be able to purchase clothes more often, and there will also be a wider selection of clothing which will also change much frequently. The shop will also have a changing room to allow you to try on all the clothes and make multiple purchases at once.
