A lavish building stands proud in Renall Street - North Retter's most famed department store. A wide building separated into three equally spacious floors which hold a rich array of products - from ornaments, cutlery, and cosmetics all the way to furniture, and the most desirable lines of clothing from renowned designers the world over - this is certainly no place for those with a light wallet and an even lighter bank balance.
Ground Floor - Upon being welcomed into the grand establishment by glass doors, one will be greeted by a fantastic variation of objects ready to be snatched up by the fastest shoppers that roam the floor. A flock of cosmetics counters sit clustered together in the left atrium of the ground floor like small children whispering in a confidential circle, just beside the elevator and the healthier option - a series of steps leading up to a stairwell that climbs to the second floor of the shop.
Ornaments dominate the majority of this department. Shelves fashioned from glass house delicate and fragile sculptures and porcelain figures of regal women brandishing decorative fans in equally decorative ball gowns. If anything is broken here, expect the fine to be a hefty one.
A small section tucked away in the far corner is dedicated to greetings cards and wrapping paper, striped in bright colours and smothered in congratulatory phrases and slogans embossed in silver and gold, where reels of ribbon hang upon a wire shelf alongside their weighty price tags.
First Floor - The home of furniture fit for every living room. Coffee tables stand proud to form a walkway for customers, their polished surfaces filled with ceramic vases and dainty tea sets, whose prices, much like everything else in Jacobson's, pack a fatal blow to one's credit card. China cupboards are filled with silk-coated cushions, their embroidery intricate and flawless.
Ornaments and miscellaneous additions are found either stuffed into gargantuan vases that sit upon the floor, or hanging from the ceiling to sway in the breeze that follows hectic shoppers and immaculately dressed staff as they correct anything that might have fallen out of place.
Second Floor - The final floor belongs to clothing - endless racks of patterned dresses and pinstriped suits dominate almost the entire area, save for the small cafe that sits snugly in the final quarter of the floor, where the bitter scent of freshly ground coffee permeates the air to entice clothes shoppers into staying for a little while longer to spend even more of their funds on liquid luxuries, or even a sweet snack to accompany their hot beverage.
Toilets are located to the left of the cafe's till, and are scented with a gathering of fully-bloomed flowers to cover the bleach that is used every night before closing time.
