Hailey's

Hailey's is currently an abandoned neighborhood grocery store located in Jubilife City in the Sinnoh region.

Ownership
Hailey's is a family-owned business. Ownership has passed through a few family members, with the latest owner being a man whose name is unknown. He lives not far from the store. It's not clear where the name, "Hailey's" comes from, but it's naturally assumed that it's the name of either the man's wife, daughter, niece, or other.

Store
Hailey's is a relatively small building. It's meant to be a simple place to get snacks, meats, drinks, etc. It had a delicatessen within it and was well-frequented by people. The main demographic were academy students who were getting out of classes. The store is located not too far from Sinnoh Academy and ran well. Its adress is 442 North 21st Avenue.

The store has a few of its own brands of foods, which helps generate more income for the store, since 100% of those profits are kept, as opposed to a portion of it going to the name brands of other items.

However, as time went on, fewer and fewer people purchased items. Naturally, sales went down and the store closed down on Monday, November 2nd, about 3 years before the start of the series. The building remained there for several years, just with the sign taken out of it. It's unknown what's planned for this building/space.

Past
Years before the series started, when Paul was attending Sinnoh Academy, he loved going to Hailey's on most days after school and getting some of the store's own brand of lemon-flavored ice cream bars, which he enjoyed. He would get these usually when walking home alone.

On Tuesday, November 3rd, approximately 3 years before the start of the series, Paul was asked to come to Hailey's with Barry and Zoey. Paul was hesitant to do anything with them at first, but decided to come since he wanted to get "something" from there anyway. When they got to the store, they saw a sign that said the place was out of business as of Monday, November 2nd, which was yesterday. Zoey then recalls that she heard the owner was thinking of doing this, but didn't know it would be this soon. Paul then tells them he was going to get that same store brand of lemon-flavored ice cream bars. Disappointed, he left the group and went to his room at PokéLife Apartments.

45 minutes later, Barry and Zoey knocked at his door, which Paul was angry at. He then notices that Zoey had one of those ice cream bars; she gave it to him. He was confused at how they got it. Barry and Zoey explain that after he left, they asked around for where the owner of Hailey's lived. They went to his house, where he had some more of the ice cream bars stored. He gave them an entire box. Zoey said this was Barry's idea. Paul was glad for this and ended up coming with them to study for an upcoming exam.

Present
Hailey's was actually featured in the first episode of Tears of the Fallen. After Ash first arrived in Jubilife City in Sinnoh to meet Alain, he checked his e-mail again. In it, Hailey's was the place where Alain asked Ash to meet to speak for the very first time. Ash went to the address and found the store, which was still abandoned at this point and worn down. Ash was late, which annoyed Alain. They went around the side of the store and spoke.

Alain then introduced himself to Ash. He told him how Arceus had sent him to find Ash so that the two of them can travel to find its Plates and save the world from the Tekiyoku. Ash had many questions and Alain was very crass, but ultimately, Ash got the general idea of the mission. The meeting ended with Alain telling Ash to meet him later at his room in PokéLife Apartments. Before they left Hailey's, Ash wanted to take Alain with him to meet his friend that he had just met a few minutes earlier, named Dawn Toyoguchi. Reluctantly, Alain agreed as the two headed to Dawn's house.
