Food and drink of course, have to come first!
Bon Vivant - Far above the run-of-the-mill liquor store, Bon Vivant specializes in drafts and spirits of all ages and vintages.
Qui e La - Partnered with Bon Vivant and just next door, this little indoor bistro, complete with fenced-off "outdoor" dining area, prides itself on being able to recognize and make at least one or two of the most well-known dishes from anywhere in the world. They can also supply customers with any manner of ingredient for their own personal use for cooking.
The Geek Boutique - We'd be lynched if Meridian's Mall didn't have a good resource for all things computer and electronics related. In addition, every now and then Meridian employees can have access to some of Meridian's more fun gadgets when it's approved by the appropriate powers-that-be as safe to market to that select crowd.
Stars and Vines - Florist and candle-shop, specializing in all manners of floral arrangements including vases, baskets, all occasions, and even devising new and different ways to wear flowers aside from the usual corsages and bouttenieres. They also carry houseplants, ordinary and extroardinary. The candles and holders come in a variety as well, from wall sconces and elaborate candle-stands, to tiny tealights. They run a small delivery service that operates throughout the Towers; Liefde and Meridian.
Meridian Stores
Here's a list of what's already there, from the thread at Meridian, as a frame of reference.
"Alfarinn"Barney's Coffee Shop - A small coffee shop that is commonly viewed by the employees of Meridian as the best coffee in Nachton
Tea Time - This odd little shop specializes in jewelry and watch repair while you wait. The oddity is that they have tables and serve drinks so that you are able to wait in style. Most notably they serve a large assortment of tea.
Deco Decor - A fine furnishing store that specializes in collecting various styles for a complete look. They have a large selection of modern, gothic, retro and of course art deco.
Ex Libris - A cozy little bookstore full of wooden shelves and little nooks for reading. Built to look like an old library, Ex Libris is a circular design that has two stories, the second one is open to overlook the first. The technology of the place is carefully hidden to maintain the feeling of being transported to a simpler time but the store is known for being able to track down even rare books for customers with some patience.
Pick Quick Papers - A stationary store with a Victorian style that supports the fine art of letters with its lovely inks, papers, stamps and more. Pick Quick also offers many modern stationary needs including computer paper, printer cartridges, copiers ,photo processing and printing.
Figure we can post store names and descriptions below.

Billie poo-pooed my Wal-Mart idea. Anyone got a good name for a clothing store? :P I'm running out of catchy boutique names.

Shop Smart Shop S Mart.
Okay Alec might be the only one to get that reference.
Boutique names..
The Underground - The catchy subway logo of this shop is the easily recognizable entrance to all that is hip and happening in the music world. The Underground prides themselves on having the best and brightest new artists before they are easily found on the streets. They also have your old favorites as well.
Sugar N Spice - This women's clothing shop has two main themes, all that is feminine and flirty and all that is racy and wild. The two halves are separated on either side of the shop by a zig zagging broad walkway in a checked pattern that goes from muted pastels into brilliant bold colours.
Castaways - Is an outdoor sports and clothing store that sells year round gear for those who want to be prepared for their fun in the sun. The theme of the store is done with a lot of bamboo facing and palms with a back mural showing a deserted beach at sunset.
Broken Is a clothing store for the less typical in today's business world and caters to those of the goth and punk persuasion. The store's sign is purposefully broken in two with several letters that flash on and off as though they were about to go out completely. There is a dark run down feel about the place that is carefully cultivated to look haphazard.
Effortless Essentials - A business fashion store that is centered around making it easy to pick out and combine pieces to create a variety of finished looks out of what are called "core clothing" for those on a budget that want to be dressed for their eventual success.

That's My Stapler! - This store sells gags and joke items specifically made for the office. Staplers with rubber staples, paperweights that deliver well-timed insults, and pens that write in vanishing ink or squirt water are just some of the gag items that can be found in this vast (and disturbing) store.

The Tower Lounge - Is of course the lobby lounge. It has a wide entrance that allows its patrons to people watch while also allowing people in the lobby to see the Lounge's luxurious decor. The style is art deco in keeping with the building's founding origins but instead of the glass and steel updated exterior, The Lounge is done in elegant hues of gold. The lighting has an amber tone that invokes the feel of candlelight. The furnishings are sleek lined deco chairs and tables in black lacquer. René Lalique vases on the wall were made of frosted glass with intricate carvings of ravens in a winter forest. They were set aglow with soft golden lighting. Vintage alcohol advertisement posters from the 1920's are framed in black, adding period art and muted colour to the room.
