Creating a tycoon (Not with a kit, from scratch), best way to save progress?

I have a basic understanding of Data Store. Not asking for a whole script, just asking where to start and how to handle saving tycoon objects that the player has purchased? I was thinking of setting an Id to everything, Ex. 1,2,3 then making a table like,

local tycoonProgress = {
[1] = true,
[2] = false,
[3] =  false
}

Is there an easier way to do it? What would be the best way?
