Best way to go about a global shop implementation?

Thought about adding a global shop to my game that refreshes every day. The simplest implementation I thought of was performing a check every few seconds or so to determine if a new shop should be generated (probably would store the initial time the shop was created in the data store object to determine this)

And if so, update the existing data store entry to contain the updated shop.

Any ideas regarding this? Thanks
