Welcome to Matacore : "All Your Wizarding Needs Under the One Roof"

Matacore is the largest Wizard Retailer in Australia catering to the aim of being able to buy anything a Wizard might need all at a reasonable price.
In many sense the nearest equivalent is to a large Muggle Shopping Mall where the entire ground floor makes up the 'common' area of products and supplies with higher floors for the more 'elite' witch and wizard.

NOTE: Matacore is a PURELY Magical Shopping Centre in that while it may borrow from the Muggle shopping malls for inspiration forget your McDonalds, Target's and other Muggle brands everything within Matacore is 100% Pure Wizarding products and stock. You won't find a Starbucks in Matacore

GROUND FLOOR:
It's a big bold one stop shop for your average wizarding folk out for a bargain.
"Personally I think It's bloody Fugly and greatly improved by blowing it up" - Marcus

Entering either by Floo or though the grand front entrance on Penny Lane most customers when they here of Matacore think automatically to the ground floor that makes up the 'open' area of shopping metropolis. Quills, Ink, Uniforms, Clothes, Books, all are available and ads for the latest in Wizard Fashion decorate the halls. . On the Ground Floor most is Off The Shelf and being cheaper then competitors often bears the hallmark of Elf Processing Zones and 'exotic' 'made in' locations from overseas.

That's not to say the ground floor is all about shopping, it also holds a food court and the popular attraction of the magical creatures exhibits.

The decor is Gaudy with white tile and marble predominate with copper fittings and decorations.

Coming into the store depending on the day you may find a group of protesters outside from S.P.E.W, Muggles United the Magical Student Union or other groups depending on what practices or public outcry this week brought about by the public statements of Richard Hobson a well known public figure supporting Racial Purity alongside 'Traditional Family Values', the use of EPZ - Elf Processing Zones or the Purest only Staff Hiring Policy as with success also breeds controversy.

2ND FLOOR:
For the finer wizards it's Pure and Halfblood Only but some have been known to 'borrow or swap wands' with others to gain entry.
"That's A Fancy Way of saying it's for Stuck up wannabe Snobs" - Marcus

Many of the 'finer' products are not of course available to everyone. Taking a ride up the gold elevators or imp powered escalators one is first greeted by a wand check point much like that found in the Ministry of Magic in England, while it's said to be to deter thieves and for customer safety it's also a means to insure that no Mudbloods are allowed to shop amongst the more discerning folk. Here you can find rarer books and ingredients, your dragons blood, unicorn hair, fine robemakers, quality brooms and Quidditch supplies, school uniforms and a wand shop.

There's a clear distinction of class between the floors, expect more gold, hardwood, stone and marble with finery on display with less of the gaudy decorations of the bottom floor. Always there will be the famous 'Matacore Girls' on the checkout to help you with their purchase. Here everything is hand made by wizard hands and price and quality are both far above that of the floor below.

3RD FLOOR:
Exclusive Shopping for the Elite with all the comforts of the home country.
"Aka if your not a stuck up pureblood arsewad.. get out!" - Marcus

Here you need both the right name, blood and status to enter and don't worry there's always a 'friendly' security staff to point you on your way if you get lost. It's said that for the price one can buy anything and at Matacore that means that if one cannot find what they want from the small collection of specialist stores there's always someone willing to find it for the right price. On the 3rd Floor each customer is given one on one service to find that perfect antique cauldron, Elven and Goblin crafted jewelery, tailors and hand made designer robes to genuine dragon slippers.

The 'vibe' is more of a fine gentleman's club then shopping centre. One is left to browse and try to ones leisure with the expert assurance that only the very rich brings.
