Pequod's is a famous Seattle-based coffee franchise.
History[]
A Pequod's was set ablaze by the ghost of Dante Barnes. The Ghostbusters investigated the site a few days later. Up to and including one of its barista were caught in the fire. The Ghostbusters learned the sire was renovated two or three times prior and the building used to be a club once. Trace levels of built up P.K.E. were registered.
Janine Melnitz and Tiyah Clarke met up at the Pequod's in Broadway in the Morningside Heights area. Janine wanted to tell Tiyah about a possible lead on the Ghostbusters' disappearance. Soon after, the Grendel manifested just outside the Pequod's in Duffy Square at 6 pm. Later in the summer, Ray Stantz and Jenny Moran met up at the Pequod's in Broadway for coffee. Janine met with Dana Barrett at the Pequod's on Columbus to discuss her encounter with Tiamat. Their conversation was disrupted with the manifestation of a gravitational anomaly outside on Columbus Circle.
Three months after the end of the Tiamat incident, Tiyah happened to be sitting outside the Pequod's on Saks Fifth Avenue when the Ghostbusters emerged from the Saks Fifth building with a captured ghost. Peter Venkman let the ghost go for Winston Zeddemore's benefit. Winston saved Tiyah from the ghost and got a date out of it. There is a Pequod's on East 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan near the Daily News Building. The Ghostbusters passed it after capturing the Bug-Eye Ghost.
Two days after the Connla incident, Jillian Holtzmann met with Ron Alexander at a Pequod's located next to a Dick's Pizza. Holtzmann agreed to work with him on a teleporation unit of their own and wanted to talk about exactly what they would need to build it. She ordered a quad-shot on the understanding he was paying. Janine and Jenny checked on Peter, the victim of an explosion, at a hospital a few blocks from the Firehouse then went to a Pequod's in the building. Janine told Jenny about Walter Peck's offer to be the new Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission liaison but wasn't sure the added bureaucracy was worth a bigger paycheck. Before Jenny could finish her advice, she sensed something had come for Peter.
A few days after the field teams of Ghostbusters returned to the prime dimension, Janine met with Peck at a Pequod's. Peck wanted an answer in regard to his offer to her to become the next PCOC liaison. Janine started by presenting conditions to be met upon her acceptance of the offer. She wanted to keep her desk at the Firehouse, keep her own schedule, do the least amount of meetings, and an extra $15,000 on top of his previous offer plus her current office salary. Peck found her conditions absurd but they both knew finding someone with the necessary skills was difficult. Peck sighed and accepted. He welcomed her to PCOC and they shook hands.
