Sempra is a chain of convenience stores based out of Draakur that operates internationally. Founded in 1968 as an open-late general store called "Medinocha" in the city of Fredrikspurt, on the isle of Gran Draakur in what was then South Ottonia, by proprietors Danilu Wytt and Rikard Torrnueva, who sought to capitalize on a location in a neighborhood with a significant number of dock workers who got home late, outside of normal grocer and general store hours but still needed food and sundries. The store's initial 18-hour schedule (from 6 AM to Midnight) proved very popular, and within a few years the two found themselves expanding to multiple locations in the city, then around the archipelago, and then the country, as well as experimenting with and then adopting an at-the-time still rare 24-hour, seven-days-per-week open schedule starting in 1972, prompting them to rename the store "Sempre Abirto", or "Always Open". This would, in 1974, be shortened to simply "Sempra".
