Chesnero's Fur Shop

Chesnero's Fur Shop was a store in Coruscant's undercity that sold the furs of exotic mammals for use in clothing. It was owned by a man named Chesnero, who before opening the store served the Republic Judicial Forces as a maintenance operator.

In 28 BBY, Chesnero's Fur Shop was raided and shut down by Coruscant Security Force personnel after it was revealed that among Chesnero's goods were Wookiee pelts, which were of course illegal to sell as selling the bodyparts of sentient beings was illegal in Republic space. It was later discovered that Chesnero had ties to a gang of Trandoshan smugglers who hunted Wookiees on Kashyyyk and sold their hides to Chesnero and other fur merchants. The building that Chesnero's Fur Shop once operated in later became a diner that, ironically, was later raided during the Imperial era after it was discovered that the diner's owners were associated with a local crime family.
