Shopkeepers
Shopkeepers are owners of established businesses within the Wizarding Community, and many employ additional service workers to tend to various needs within the shop. All businesses in Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley and Hogsmeade are currently canon only until A Legend Reborn has need of original shops; this is not to say original shops cannot be suggested in the suggestions board. If the original shop meets a service need within the wizarding community not covered by a canon shop listed here, and has positions for at least three total individuals, it will be placed under consideration by the staff. If it is deemed acceptable, it will be added to this list!
Currently we are interested in two cafes for Diagon Alley, and perhaps one restaraunt, so keep that in mind!
Shopkeepers are responsible for maintaining the stock and merchandise of the store, placing work orders for additional products and services, managing the budget, ensuring that the store is kept up to Ministry safety and work policy guidelines, and contacting the Ludicrous Patents Office for any and all new products or merchandise that are created within the store. Shopkeepers must have a strong sense of money management, merchandising and entrepreneurship, and must be willing to comply to the Ministry guidelines in regards to new merchandise and products.
Diagon Alley Shops
All Shopkeepers in Diagon Alley make 1,000 galleons per month.
All Shop assistants make 800 galleons per month.

FLOURISH AND BLOTTS

Merchandisers are responsible for keeping stock updated and ensuring that front-faced books are displayed properly for optimum selling. Sales reps must have a solid product knowledge.

Located next to the The Spiny Serpent, and opposite Borgin and Burkes, this shop was named after its original founder, Moribund. Catering to witches and wizards of small budgets and broad plans, Moribund’s provides its patrons with difficult to obtain and steep to afford artifacts on affordable payment plans. Very much your wizard version of a loan office, Moribund’s patrons can dress to impress, decorate to astonish or give a gift well beyond their means if they happen to pick it up here – and agree to the terms and conditions of the monthly rates, return policies and of course consequences for failing to deliver on monthly payments.
THE COFFIN HOUSE
One of the darkest and most notorious shops in Knockturn Alley, the Coffin house caters exclusively to artifacts, books and writings on the Dark Arts and, in particular, to necromancy. Very often visited by Aurors to ensure there is nothing illegal being sold, the Coffin House employees have mastered the art of hiding their true wares in a span of seconds, and have their most dangerous items available only to loyal patrons.
THE SPINY SERPENT
An exotic wares supplier, the Spiny serpent caters to the affluent witches and wizards, providing rare (and often illegal) artifacts for interior home design and defenses.

THE HOG’S HEAD
Perhaps the most disreputable location in all of Hogsmeade, the Hog’s Head is a dingy, dirty hovel of a pub, whose bartenders haven’t been bothered to clean since their hiring date and Aberforth simply hasn’t been bothered to bug them over it. Could be he’s hired on some new, more willing to clean folk recently, but that’s all whispers on the wind really.

TOMES AND SCROLLS
A specialty bookshop established in 1768, Tomes and Scrolls provides everything from wizarding fiction to best-selling How Two books for the practical witch or wizard. What sets Tomes and Scrolls apart from other bookshops is their niche market in ancient scrolls and texts from all around the UK and greater Europe. Chances are that long looked for first edition can be found tucked away at Tomes and Scrolls. Their display case and back room hold some of their most ancient (and therefore most expensive) wares. Merchandisers are expected to know what is on display and to be aware of all the products in the store. Sales representatives have an equally strong product knowledge and are familiar with the care needed for old parchments.

ZONKO’S JOKE SHOP
The favorite shop of Hogwarts students, Zonko’s is perhaps infamous among the school’s faculty for its wild joke products, ranging from Dungbombs to Sugar Quills. Due to the current events in the wizarding world in regards to the Dark Lord’s return, Zonko’s has downsized its employee base considerably, and seems to be under threat of going under or closing altogether.
