The Leftorium was a store in the Springfield Mall that specializes in products for left-handed people.
Description[edit]
The downsized Leftorium stall
The store was owned by Ned Flanders, who quit his job as a clerk for a pharmaceutical company and opened The Leftorium. At first, business at the store went very poorly. Homer secretly wished that Flanders' store would go out of business after receiving the larger half of a wishbone. Homer got his wish, and the Flanders family were forced to sell their possessions (much of which Homer purchased at the very low price of $75). The bank repossessed the Flanders' home, and the store was about to close. Homer then regretted making this wish and the fact that he never told any of his friends, who were in need of left-handed items, about The Leftorium. To atone for his actions, Homer managed to get everyone he knew in town to shop at Ned's store, effectively saving it from bankruptcy.
The Leftorium was looted by a mob after a hurricane struck Springfield.[1]
The Leftorium continued to trade profitably after this. However, there were times when Flanders mentioned that the store did not do well. Ned once mentioned that he purchased most of his possessions cheaply to make up for his store's lack of business.[2] Later, Ned mentioned how a mega left-hand store, Left-Mart, had recently opened and was threatening his business.[3] It had bulletproof windows.[4]
The Leftorium was eventually downsized to half of a stall in the Mall. It then closed when people started getting their left-handed items online.[5]
The Leftorium later reopened in a new location outside the Mall after Flanders received financial backing from Fat Tony. Business was steady thanks to its ties with the Springfield Mafia.[6]

Behind the Laughter[edit]
The abundance of left-handers in Springfield is most likely due to their creator, Matt Groening himself, being left-handed. The name is a portmanteau of left[-handed] and emporium.
