Brugsen worked at his parents' general store when he was younger. There, he learned much about supply and demand. When he got older, he organised a group that made different deals with money. It soon grew very popular, and eventually Brugsen decided to spread his idea all around RuneScape. He then made a deal with the bankers to help him run the Exchange, then built it next to Varrock Palace. Brugsen can be found near the entrance of the Grand Exchange.
