bakery

Explanation

The "ough" in the English word "dough" is quite similar to this final. One place with a lot of dough is a bakery, so we chose a [-(o)u] bakery to represent this final.
  1. From the front of the [-(o)u] bakery you can see some display windows and the large trash can on the side often full of stale baked goods.
  2. The inside contains display cases full of beautiful baked goods and a counter to order them at.
  3. The basement is where much of the baking happens and is full of baking supplies like flour.
  4. The bathroom is there for workers and customers alike, and often has miscellaneous croissants or flour left around in it.
