Grundy's Department Store

Grundy's is a wizarding department store in the Goblin Market in Chicago, Illinois.
The first floor of the store consists of an Ocular Department, a Household Charmed Goods Department, Furniture, Home Decorations and Remodeling, Wizard Appliances, Clockworks, Bath & Body Charms, and a Brooms and Carpets section. On upper floors are Glass and Potionwares, Cauldrons, Toys and Children's Charms, Sporting Goods, Wizard School Supplies, Wands & Wandcare, a Familiars and Pets Department, Muggle Imports, and more. In the Clockworks section, Alexandra Quick sees a Tockmagi Household Clockwork Golem for the first time.
Angelique Devereaux, Anna Chu, Constance and Forbearance Pritchard, David Washington, Darla Dearborn and Quick visited Grundy's toward the end of the summer of 2007 to shop for school supplies prior to their sixth-grade year at the Charmbridge Academy. Washington and Quick got into a fight with Benjamin and Mordecai Rash and Larry Albo in the cafeteria when Albo and the Rash brothers insulted them.
The five got Barred from the store for the fight, which Quick discovered in August 2008, when she attempted to return to the store. When she tried to walk through the door, she was stopped as if she'd walked into a wall; she learned that only a manager could lift the Bar, as he had already for Albo and the Rash brothers. Later, in the cafeteria, the Charmbridge students met a half-dozen students from the Blacksburg Magery Institute on exchange, and saw Dearborn publicly humiliated by Martin Nguyen.
In July 2011, Alexandra Quick discovered that she was once again Barred from Grundy's when she attempted to enter with her half-sister Lydia Pruitt to purchase a Grundy's wand to replace her destroyed one, at the order of Governor-General Hucksteen, essentially meaning that Alexandra was permanently banned from Grundy's. Richard Raspire states that Livia Pruett would also have been Barred, however the store was unable to as the store was host to a Goody Pruett’s franchise.
== Trivia ==
* It is somewhat unclear how the spell for the Barring works. Once placed on an individual, the individual cannot reenter the store unless lifted by a manager. However, when confronted by Alexandra Quick over her second barring, Assistant Manager Permelia Parrish states that "bars dont get reactivated." This implies that that when the Bar is lifted it doesn't mean that the spell would need to be recast to Bar the individual again, but the lifting itself is "temporary", and the Barring itself is a permanent spell and can be reinstated whenever the manager deems it so.
* Richard Raspire states that “associates and family members of the Enemy are persona non grata at any establishment that wishes not to be affiliated with the Enemy themselves.” This implies that Grundy's Barred not just Alexandra Quick, but all of her half-sisters as well (with the exception of Lydia Pruett), and possibly their parents and spouses as well such as Valeria King. However, this Bar apparently didn't apply to Alexandra's friends such as Anna Chu and David Washington when they collected their supplies for the 2011-2012 school year.
