Chumporium
Description
The Chumporium looks exactly like the Chum Bucket, except that it has been turned into a gift shop. It has a large yellow poster covering the word "Chum Bucket" on the outside that reads the place's name in green capital letters. Underneath in blue, it says "Grand Opening." The glass doors lead into the inside of the Chumporium.

Role in episode
The owner is Plankton, who had been running the Chum Bucket for years. Its only known customer is SpongeBob, who bought a snow globe. Suspicious, Mr. Krabs confiscates SpongeBob's snow globe and throws it into his storage with Plankton's other past ideas used to get to the Krabby Patty secret formula.
Mr. Krabs, after throwing a party, notices Plankton walking out of the Chumporium with a seal plush-doll, becoming more suspicious. He looks through a window and is shocked at what he sees inside. Unconvinced, he destroys Plankton's gift shop. It may not have been a success, but Plankton had loved his gift shop and was heartbroken after Mr. Krabs went on a rampage.
Plankton tries to act as if he was not trying to capture the Krabby Patty secret formula, but Mr. Krabs later gives him a fake formula.
