 Smile Sundries maintains a brightly lit and coloured office complex somewhere in Noir.
+===== History =====
+Started by an older couple living in the Dancefloor Neighborhood of Chelton Noir. Wanted to provide affordable goods to residents. Couldn't afford automated systems or deliveries, and instead focused on customer experience. Became something of a neutral zone for criminal activity due to the popularity of the at the time small storefront with elderly customers and families who enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and opportunity to not only contemplate their purchases in person, but also to socialize with other customers.
+As profits came in and the name spread the small company was expanded into a second larger location, while maintaining the original apartment based store. The desire to communicate the availability to a wider audience and to improve the experience of the customer led to to the hiring of local artists from a wide variety of backgrounds who contributed toward shaping what would be the famous Smile Sundries look and sound. The original Smile logo was drawn by the husband at the behest of the wife, and is the only aspect of the company to remain untouched.
+Continued to remain a neutral space on Noir, became famous for customer service and a friendly atmosphere no matter who came to the stores. Worked to meed customer requests, and all Smile locales were provided at consumer request for convenience. Became a household name on Noir within the first decade and crept off-world to the other Traveller colonies slowly over the next fifty years before finally making it to Albion.
+The company has been steadfast and focused on working with the customer for a better experience and has been content to grow as it does instead of pursuing aggressive profit strategies. While not the most profitable company, nor the fastest growing, it has through reputation weathered recessions and difficulties that have forced the majority of companies that existed around the time of its founding to close shop.
