Cloverpaw
Cloverpaw is a hybridization of the traditional box store, a catalogue store, and a warehouse store to deliver exactly what the customer needs, when they need it. It's a simple model, with small facing store fronts backed by a large warehouse attached to it. It is also the sole destributor of the Man's Best Friend units in the galaxy, and largely employs them as the shopkeeps.

Company Code
Design
Any products directly produced by Cloverpaw begin life in Concord Park or Communion Base, the two places of residence for Seija. Seija is the sole owner and creative mind of the company, and the only human employee. Seija takes advantage of a wide variety of creation methods and experimentation with custom design interfaces hand-pieced by himself. He designs it, and then sends it off to his manufactories.
Production
Seija relies on a largely automated process, but has MBFs fill in the gaps where intelligent life is needed. Since both Concord Park and Communion Base are so large, there's plenty of room for different manufactories snuck into the layout (admittedly, Communion Base is far more impressive and the one in Concord Park is much more just an MBF production house). Since it's automated, products usually go on a smooth ride from design straight into testing, and then distribution should the product pass QA.
Distribution
Cloverpaw has its own freighters, autopiloted with an emergency MBF crew, to get product out to localized distribution centers, and then smaller ones for interplanetary product passing, until finally they stock each of the odd little stores. Cloverpaw stores themselves are simple affairs. It is represented by a very small, customer accessible “lobby” featuring a counter with an MBF, a kiosk for selecting the item the customer wants/needs, and a dropdown pneumatic tube to deliver the item to the counter. The little room is directly connected to a much larger, automated warehouse space with storage for every type of product they are allowed to carry, but it's only accessible to employees (and inspectors) - employees meaning MBFs.
Marketing
Cloverpaw ads are generally visually based, relying on the inherent cuteness of the MBF to lure customers into their stores. They tend to feature the mascot character, Mono, in a delivery uniform hoisting and bringing boxes to unreasonably happy people, looking as cute as possible while doing so.
