About

Their most famous product is Kelpo cereal, but they also have products meeting all of one's spatula needs, as stated by Template:Data:Links in "Help Wanted." This store is the common marketplace for all Bikini Bottomites. The store functions much like a usual bargain store.

Products shown there include their wall of Kelpo, their paper towels; commonly used with the slogans "in town" or "around" (as mentioned in "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler"), deodorant, baby powder, soup, and night lights. In the video game Employee of the Month, it is shown to sell cooking oil, jellyfish jelly, Kelpo, TVs, and Food-in-a-can.
