Store

Leaving the planet? Don't book your flight without hitting up this truly one-of-a-kind Greenwood shop for rocket fuel, gravity belts, asbestos underwear and "snacktime help-oneself units," because it goes without saying that you're gonna need all this stuff on your trip to meet the Space Monkeys. At the very least, you're going to need the "cherry-scented diversion deployment system" — a ray gun that shoots sweet-smelling smoke rings.

You can shop at Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. with complete confidence, knowing that all the proceeds from the sale of these cool and kooky sci-fi novelties go to 826 Seattle, a tutoring and creative-writing center for kids ages 6-18, located at the receiving end of the store's "transporter" (which is ingeniously disguised as an old-fashioned rotating photo darkroom door). Even if you're one of those simple folk with no immediate plans to visit the outer rim of our galaxy, you should stop by and purchase a few necessities. Every item you buy from Greenwood Space Supply Co. is a literal investment in the future.
