The appearance of "?"'s Mystery Store, like most things associated with it, was shrouded in mystery. According to residents, it just simply appeared overnight, with no fanfare, announcement or explanation. While several pets were in the area at the time -- Perry was taking a delivery of caramel syrup and gravy, and Mr. Shuttleworth was seen hurrying away from some bins which had been loudly knocked over -- none saw the Mystery Store being built, nor its mysterious owner, "?".
By morning a crowd of pets had gathered around the mysterious store, clamouring for a glimpse inside while not daring to enter. Preston, who had been watching from his furniture shop, eventually wandered over and walked on in, puzzled at what all the fuss was about. He emerged soon after, holding a signed agreement for the Mystery Store to sell Preston's Mystery Boxes for him. The details of the deal are unknown, but it has been noted that Preston receives large regular deliveries of chocolate of late.
Little is known about "?" himself; a mysterious pet who has a seemingly never ending supply of sage sounding proverbs and fables, which all sound very impressive but never quite make sense. Because his face is always shrouded, it's rumoured that "?" might actually be another resident in disguise, but people stopped paying attention when the rumour was traced back to Felicity. And yet, could he be..?
