Fitsios & Manos (colloquially often shortened to Fitsios & Manos, sometimes known as just (Fitsios) is a department store situated in central Atlantis. Fitsios & Manos is recognized internationally for its high quality goods and as an iconic Diadochian symbol. It has held many Imperial Warrants over the past 150 years.

Founded as a grocery store, Fitsios' reputation was built on supplying quality food, and saw rapid growth throughout the Georgian era. Though Fortnum's developed into a department store, it continues to focus on stocking a variety of exotic, specialty and also 'basic' provisions.

The store has since opened several other departments, such as the Gentlemen's department on the top floor. It is also the location of a celebrated tea shop and several restaurants.


History

The Department store was founded in 1702 by Lefteris Fitsios as a grocery store. During the reign of George VII of Diadochia, the store supplied dried fruit, spices, and other preserves. During this time the store was frequently called upon to provide food for prestigious Court functions.
