This is another department store on the Maul, and a rival to Crumley's and Horrids. It is renowned for its upmarket food hall: this boasts an unparalleled selection of imported Überwaldean food and drink, the finest wines, the perfect beer such as Heisenberg Lager and only the very best blood sausage.

Marks and Spencer, renowned for its upmarket and expensive food retail division.

Swears and Wells was also the name of a department store in London in the 19th and 20th centuries, although apparently better known for fur and children's clothes than food.
