[[Drug store]]s found in smaller towns serve a similar purpose, with a much smaller selection. Like the first game, the first floor has a payphone and ATM in both towns' department stores. The other floors in Twoson's contain a bakery, burger shop, tool shop and drugstore, and Fourside's has a seasonings stand, arms dealer, sports shop, and toy shop in addition to the stores found in Twoson. | ||
The Fourside Grand Department Store serves an important purpose in the story, as during a blackout Paula is kidnapped while exiting the store on the first visit, then Ness battles the [[Department Store Spook]] on the top floor. | |||
