Overview[]
Mr. Haney speaking with the staff of Crugwell's
The Crugwell's of London department store is a known affiliate company of Mr. Haney's and not only offers products for any birthday occasion, but they even offer gift-wrapping services.
However, what makes Crugwell's truly stand out is the fact that it seems to be connected to or exist entirely within the confines of an old security safe that somehow defies the nature of space, with the entire department store existing inside of it and all of its employees working from within it without any issue. The safe, through some mind-boggling means, possesses an alarm system that's somehow directly and wirelessly linked to Scotland Yard overseas, alerting them of any attempts to break into Crugwell's. Crugwell employees can safely deliver and receive products through the safe without any issue either.
The perplexing safe that contains Crugwell's is currently in the possession of their affiliate Mr. Haney himself, who has enough authority over the company and its staff to give orders and initiate lunch breaks.

Manager & Gift-Wrapper[]
Mrs. Crugwell's hand handling merchandise
Mrs. Crugwell is the apparent manager for Crugwell's of London and also acts as the head of the gift-wrapping department. Due to the small size of the safe's opening, only her hand is ever seen. That along with the unique nature of the safe itself left Mr. Douglas quite amazed and befuddled to say the least.
Employees[]
Aside from Mrs. Crugwell, there are several other employees employed at the store who take orders from Mr. Haney. All staff members are assured a one hour lunch break period.
Products[]
Mr. Haney holding the "Hope Diamond"
Crugwell's of London offers a wide range of merchandise in their departments which are sure to suit any occasion and serve as delightful birthday gifts. Their most notable item though is the massive "Hope Diamond", a diamond necklace that, although it shares its name with the famed Hope Diamond they are not the same, but the Crugwell's Hope Diamond gets its name from having been purportedly owned by famed comedian and entertainer Bob Hope, or so Mr. Haney claims.
