It would be very much appreciated.
I've been a regular customer to Daz Studio for a while now (since, like, 2015 I think), and I'm surprised of the thousands of assets available-- and more added every day-- there isn't one indoor grocery store environment.
At least, none that I've found. Anythiing remotely close to one is: covenient stores. kiosks, clothing stores etc.
I'm asking anyone of the many talented developers of Daz to please look into this and make it happen. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will be grateful.
Please, and thank you!

How do the convenience stores that exist fall short?
So, I take it that you want a supermarket rather than a convenience store. "Interactive" could mean a lot of things. Do you mean things like opening front doors, opening doors for refrigerated/frozen food cases, shelves/displays where the items load into the scene as individual props (cans, jars, bottles, boxes, packaged meat, fruits & vegetables)? By the standards of Daz interior environments, the scale and complexity of the project would be daunting--tens of thousands of square feet of retail space (5,000 square meters or more for metric types) and hundreds of SKUs on most grocery aisles, plus checkout lanes/registers and shopping carts. And what exterior do you want? Just a parking lot?
I tend to like environments and props for contemporary suburban life, but a supermarket would be so difficult for PAs to execute well. More complex than a big sacred space (temple/cathedral/basilica) or sports arena.
Plus a big supermarket would be a pain to render because of size and complexity for most. I know I don't purchase big, complicated environments based on experience. Maybe a set of vignettes, like produce dept, meat, deli, cosmetics, etc.
I have one I got free for the month for Unreal Engine I painstakingly exported as obj and into DAZ where it is not easy to use at all
in Unreal of course the doors open, I can walk around as a third person player, I populated it with animated shoppers
cannot find a DAZ video so I assume I probably only managed single images
There's a free megamart type store here: http://inlitestudio.com/3d/product/department-store/ You would just have to fill it with merchandise yourself.
There are models over at Turbosquid too ... not rigged for D/S of course ... seek .obj files and such can be rigged in D/S [possibly with use of a modeler to group sections]. Some things are free and some things not so much.
I've had one in production for a couple of years now.,no idea when it'll be finished, having to create hundreds of original and unique products/packaging/labelling etc takes forever
Free online barcode generator might help.
