Now, you may be asking:  "Scootaloo, How Do I Come To Own One Of These Wonderful, Empty Storefronts!?"

Well, I'll tell ya!  First, talk to either me or Apple Bloom.  Then, we'll give you this super exciting stack of papers right here!  Fill it out, initial each page, sign and date where indicated, and you'll be on the fast track to raking in the bits!  ((OOC:  Or, you can just fill out the simple form below.))

Keep an eye out here for exciting new developments, events, and special offers!  Don't forget, we love each and every one of our customers, so if you have any complaints please bring them up to a member of management, and we'll do our best to resolve the issue as conveniently as possible!

---

Examples for both of these are in the next post!

Store Application:

Use this if you're creating a store!  Note:  This is also the template for suggesting stores not owned by characters.  In this case, the Store Owner section is optional, but if it is filled out a short description of the manager would be appreciated~.

[b]Store Name:[/b] The full name of your store.
[b]Requested Location:[/b] Which spot do you want or your business?
[b]Store Owner(s):[/b] The names of the primary owners of the business.
[b]Other Employees:[/b] Anyone else that works at your store, NPC or otherwise (Note:  This can be added to later, so don't feel pressured!)
[b]Description:[/b] A short description of your business, including the overall feel, products and services, notable features, etc.  No need to go into great detail, but we need to have an idea of what the place is like, right?



Staff Application:

This quick application is for anyone wanting a job in the mall that doesn't involve one of the stores directly.  If you want to work for an individual store, speak to the owner of that store in the Cbox.  If you want to work for a store that is not owned by a played character, you may post this application here and we'll look it over as if we were that manager =P.  Managers are allowed to request that prospective employees fill out this application as well, but they are to be reviewed by the store owners, not the mall landlords.


[b]Name:[/b] Tell us your name!
[b]Job Applied For:[/b] What job were you looking for?  E.G. Maintenance, Security, Office work, etc.  Be as specific as you can.
[b]Why should we hire you?:[/b] Give use a couple of sentences about why you think you deserve to be hired for this position.

Store Descriptions


Store Name: Secretariat's Secret
Requested Location: B17
Store Owner(s): Jerry Lon
Other Employees: Varying mares, including unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies.  Also, a griffon is on call if one is requested.
Description: Rather enigmatic from the outside, once entered this store boasts an air of unique refinement.  The floor is made from fine, polished wood, and despite the often-uncomfortable subject matter the store specializes in, the gentle music and easy lighting, combined with the non-threatening decor and soft-spoken, delicate, matter-of-factness with which the employees address their customers can ease the tension.


Mall Employees



Name: Billie Club
Job Applied For: Head of Security
Why should we hire you?: Ever since foalhood, I've been the one breaking up fights and enforcing the rules.  I'm no-nonsense when it comes to rules and boundries:  They exist to keep the peace and keep everyone from getting hurt.  And anyone who thinks they can get away with skirting the law on my watch can count on a very sore head when they wake up in the morning.

Store Name: Bon Bon's
Requested Location: A5
Store Owner(s): Bon Bon... go figure?

Other Employees: Bon Bon Wearing A Different Hat - Night shift manager.
Early Grey - Day shift malt mixer
Bon Voyage - Night-shift malt mixer
Sweetie Drops - Mascot... kinda? She’s cute, okay? Ponies like cute.

Description: Bon Bon’s has been renovated! With a new layout, a new name, and a much wider selection of goods and services, Bon Bon’s is trying to trap and corner the candy market. Eat your heart out, T&T Mart.

The whole thing has been repainted and remodeled, with bright stripes and splatters of pastel-candy colors lining the walls and going up the ceiling. The floors are blue and white checkered tile, clean and cool, and the whole thing has been outfitted with the best air conditioning and central heating money can buy for the summer and winter seasons, respectively.

The biggest addition is the malt counter and the seating—offering menu and made-to-order smoothies, malts, milkshakes, floats, and homemade soda pop, along with a selection of nibbles and snacks, it’s not just a shop anymore, but a great place to sit down and spend some time with your kids or split sweets with a sweetie.

She’s also expanded her range of goods and outsourced some of the actual cooking work—meaning more kinds of candies, and more of them. She has her regular sellers, like her gummi animals, the Weather Wonders line of candy, and her secret-recipe homemade bon bons (which is the one cooking job she will never outsource). She’s also selling a line of soda pop, BonBubbles, which come in clear glass bottles and taste like cream and bubble-gum.

Every Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. she lays out a table outside with her Friday Freebies—the misshapen candies, the mess-ups, the non-sellers, totally free of charge! Better to give them to the community than just toss ‘em.

Perhaps most importantly, though: she’s split the shop’s activity in two. From eight o’ clock in the morning to eight in the evening are her main hours, the day shift, where everything’s as it always is; but from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the shop reopens with a completely different shop layout and selection for the nighttime hours.

The Night-Only candies are very different beasts, and ones with a little bat sticker on the wrappers are made specifically with bat pony tastes in mind. Gummi worms with real worm centers, centipede lollipops, chocolate crickets, everything a growing batty needs. But even for the late-night daywalkers there’s something new! Glow-in-the-dark rock candy, Moon Pies, and the malt counter even has a special sleepy-time mix guaranteed to give you the very sweetest dreams. Exactly how it does this is a trade secret; only Bon Bon herself will make you one.

Below are the new layouts for the day and night shifts, respectively (click for larger size):

Requested Location: B8...no particular reason why...
Store Owner(s): Blaze Racer
Other Employees: None, for now.
Description: The sign on the front of the store is flashy and designed to draw attention, and looks as if its made of a fire trail from a rocket on the right end of the sign. Inside, there are shelves lined with rockets of various sizes and shapes (which are for display only, they are not actually armed), while at the back end the there's a counter with a display case full of smaller pyrotechnic items such as sparklers and firecrackers. The walls of the store are white but marked with patterns of what looks like exploding fireworks of various sizes and colors all around it. The fireworks considered dangerous are contained in a back room that is designed specifically to be fire and blast proof, just in case a rogue spark tries to start a chain reaction in there.

With an array of selections overhead, and a few pies sitting out as free samples, Rhubarb and Key Lime have made it their personal mission to make all who come in feel welcome, and leave with happy faces and full bellies!

Requested Location: A7

Store Name: 21 Nights and 88 Keys Requested Location: C1 Store Owner(s): Synth Pop Other Employees: Unnamed NPCs; Accepting Applications for PC employees! Description: 21/88 is separated into three sections. The largest, the piano showroom, features 12 pianos at any time, usually a mixture of uprights, baby grands, and full grands with the occasional oddball (such as weighted keyboards), on a hardwood floor and under soft, careful lighting. One small area is dedicated to basic piano supplies and music books with a table offering tea and comfortable seats. The last substantial area is a pair of rooms with chalkboards and upright pianos to accommodate music lessons. The general aesthetic is more modern and simple rather than fancy, the walls white with a soft grey accent wall, and windows looking out to the mall courtyard, letting in the outside light. Edit (6/16/14): The remodeled and renamed 21 Nights is the mall's newest tea and espresso lounge. The former piano showroom is now only home to a pair of uprights with signs advertising that piano consulting and orders are still available by appointment. The rest of the showroom hosts the lounge, a layout of many large and comfortable sofas paired with long coffee tables and end tables with dim, black-shaded lamps supplementing the remaining moody hanging lights. The lounge hosts a pool table, a jukebox-gramophone loaded with jazz, piano jazz, classical piano, and classical guitar vinyls at the rate of a bit per three queued songs, and finally, a raised stage with a covered piano and room for small groups with a PA system at the ready for live acts. Sometimes, Synth Pop herself performs with the piano, but performers and bands are invited to schedule time on the stage as long as their performances do not disturb the lounge's relaxed mood. In the former piano supplies area are tables near a long bar. The beverages served here are quality teas of prices both reasonable and decadent as well as an espresso bar serving the expected drinks, though the attitude of the bar is "make it right." Beverages are made to order, but are otherwise made carefully. Tea is steeped properly here, and one can count on four shots of espresso being four real shots of espresso. Beyond this area, the former teaching rooms have been converted to private bathrooms with elegant fixtures and speakers to channel whatever music is being carried by the PA. 21 Nights is open 24 hours a day in order to accommodate diurnal and nocturnal customers. Mall employees receive a 10% discount on beverages, and all Guards receive a 20% on all goods and services, plus one free, plain coffee or black tea per day. Visual and sculpture artists are also invited to display their works at 21 Nights, with 5% of art sale revenue going towards the mall's maintenance fund.

The lounge hosts a pool table, a jukebox-gramophone loaded with jazz, piano jazz, classical piano, and classical guitar vinyls at the rate of a bit per three queued songs, a scarlet-red music-room-size grand piano, and finally, a raised stage with room for small groups with a PA system at the ready for live acts. Sometimes, Synth Pop herself performs with the piano, but performers and bands are invited to schedule time on the stage as long as their performances do not disturb the lounge's relaxed mood.

Update 6 July 2015 (Courtesy of Clutch via Ink Splatter)
The interior of 21 Nights has been repainted! The walls are a nice coffee color, with the molding and trim done in a cappuccino foam white. Much of the furniture had been recolored to be a very very dark roasted coffee bean color, nearly black. Black music bars go along one wall and wrap around to the stage with ice blue music notes dancing along it from a piece of sheet music she [Ink] found in the office. A pyramid of to-go cups is stacked on a table near very large and very empty thermos. On the stage there seems to be a sculpture of a pony made out of to-go cups, with several large mugs placed in a circle around her. Another piece can be found in the back, and a third in the office.

Requested Location: C9
Store Owner(s): Noir (♓)
Other Employees: NPCs (PCs feel free to apply to Noir ~ Management Slot Open ~)
Description:

Hate Couture's sign is black and calligraphic, horizontal parts of the lettering wrapped in draping lengths of black rope. The windows are blacked out with solid black tint, and advertize specials for couples and discounts on multiple vaguely-described products (literature, novelties, apparel, cards). The door is a carved, black Victorian-style door in a frame of diamond-plate columns. There is a sign made in a square-hoof of diamond plate with lettering of unmistakable neon making it clear that only grown-ups are allowed inside.
