Stardew Valley’s Pierre owns and runs the local general store, so you’ll be seeing plenty of him as you settle into your new idyllic life, not to mention the amount of money you’ll be giving him, so you may as well strike up a friendship and be on good terms. So, to help you build that rapport, let’s take a look at what gifts Pierre likes, dive into his favorite movies and concessions, and see what his heart events are.
The Stardew Valley characters that Pierre is closest to are Stardew Valley’s Caroline and Stardew Valley’s 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. Stardew Valley’s Maru is great to shop for.

What are Stardew Valley Pierre’s heart events?
There are three heart events for Pierre, and the final one is a real doozy, as it appears as though the general store owner is keeping a pretty big secret from his wife. It’s a big moment for your friendship; it can even ruin what relationship you have – at least he’s already given you the blueberry tart recipe by this point.
| 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?
Pierre has a few errands you can run for him if you’d like to get some extra gold and boost your friendship. Typically, Pierre’s quests involve you tracking down a specific item for him. Even if these seem tedious, you can’t give the man gifts all the time, so it’s an excellent way to better your relationship.
| 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 Stardew Valley’s Leo, Pierre is a pretty big fan of going to the movies, there isn’t a single film he doesn’t like and just three concession items he doesn’t want. He’s so much easier to get along with here than Stardew Valley’s 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?
The man is already married, so you can forget about sharing those precious nuptials with Pierre. Yes, there’s clearly an underlying issue in his marriage as he’s keeping a massive secret, but who are we to get in the middle of that mess? However, if you want the man to see how you should treat a partner, perhaps you should embark on a romance with his daughter, Abigail.
With that, you know all of the important things about Stardew Valley’s Pierre. If being his pal and involving yourself in his family doesn’t sound like the right move for you, there are plenty of other villagers to become friends with. See where things go with the likes of Stardew Valley’s Shane and Stardew Valley’s Haley; they both happen to be single if you’re after marriage.
