Stardew Valley's Pierre owns the local general store, so you'll see his face a lot, which is unfortunate, given he's not exactly Mr popular, though there's a very good reason for that. Still, it can't hurt to at least try and be pals with him, so let's take a look at what gifts he likes, along with his heart events, so you know what choices to make when the time comes.
The Stardew Valley characters that Pierre is closest to are Caroline and Abigail, his wife and daughter, respectively. However, he does have a rivalry with Morris, the manager of JojaMart, who Pierre believes has the capacity to run him out of business. Depending on your choices, you can make sure that doesn't happen, as completing the Community Center somehow bankrupts JojaMart and sends Morris out of town.
Here's what you need to know about Stardew Valley's Pierre:
What are the best Stardew Valley Pierre gifts?
Look, everybody wants something. Even if you own a store like Pierre, you'd think the man would still have plenty of things he'd love to get as a present. Well, that isn't the case, but if you give the man a price catalogue that's good enough for him. I'm not judging; I'm just thankful there's at least something he appreciates enough to give you some friendship points. Thankfully, not all villagers are like this. Maru is great to shop for.

What are Stardew Valley Pierre's heart events?
You only have three heart events to experience with Pierre, but that's more than enough for me, honestly. The first two involve receiving things in the mail, but the third has significant implications for your friendship, depending on your decision.
| Event | How to trigger |
| Anytime | Pierre might send you some gold as part of his 'Cash Back Rewards Program' - the likelihood of receiving this increases as you strengthen your friendship |
| Three hearts | Pierre sends you the recipe for the blueberry tart |
| Six hearts | Go to Pierre's General Store, a cutscene triggers showing you snooping in his bedroom, and you stumble upon his secret stash. Pierre catches you and asks that you keep this a secret. You have two options: -Tell him his secret is safe with you -Claim his wife deserves to know about this Keeping it secret nets you an extra 70 friendship points, while claiming Caroline should know costs you 500 friendship points |
What are Stardew Valley Pierre's quests?
Like other Pelican Town residents, Stardew Valley's Pierre has a couple of quests you can embark on in exchange for some extra gold, though one also improves your friendship, so that's something to bear in mind if you actually want to be friends with him. At the very least, I encourage you to take his gold; lord knows he takes enough of yours.
| Quest | How to complete | Reward |
| Pierre's Notice | After Pierre sends you a letter on the 21st of Spring in the second year, you need to bring him sashimi | You get 1k gold and one friendship heart |
| Help Wanted board | Sometimes, Pierre requests an item through his Help Wanted board next to the shop; you need to bring him the item | You get three times the value of the item in gold and an additional 150 friendship points with Pierre |
| Pierre's Prime Produce | You might find a request from Pierre for 25 gold-quality vegetables on the special orders board in front of the mayor's manor; get him those top-quality veggies | You get 2.5k gold and a mini shipping bin |
What are Pierre's favorite movies and concessions?
Just like Leo, Pierre is a pretty big fan of going to the movies, so much so that the man at least likes every movie and dislikes very few snacks. He's so much easier to get along with here than Krobus. That monster likes one movie, hates the rest, and is picky when it comes to concessions. Pierre, I appreciate you liking everything.
| Movie | Concession | |
| Love | Wumbus | Personal pizza, stardrop sorbet |
| Dislike | N/A | Joja cola, black licorice, jojacorn |
| Like | The Zuzu City Express, Mysterium, The Brave Little Sapling, It Howls In The Rain, The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch, Journey Of The Prairie King: The Motion Picture, Natural Wonders: Exploring Our Vibrant World | Everything else |
Can you marry Stardew Valley's Pierre?
You can't marry Pierre, and you should be thankful about that. Honestly, his wife really is taking one for the team by keeping this guy off the market, though she absolutely deserves better. A man who can keep a secret so huge from his wife probably isn't someone to trust, so any relationship you could theoretically have would be off to a poor start.
In fact, I'm an advocate for burning your friendship to the ground by telling Caroline whatever his secret is; why should this guy get away with keeping secrets that can impact his relationship? If it's going to bother her, buddy, you probably shouldn't be doing whatever it is.
Perhaps the only thing to consider is Abigail. If you form a romantic relationship with her, Pierre and Caroline become your in-laws, which could make for some messy Sunday dinners. Still, you can at least show the man how to treat a spouse.
