Duncan's Factory (ダンカンこうじょう Duncans Factory in Mother) is a location found in EarthBound Beginnings, north of Merrysville. It is here where Ninten and Lloyd launch a rocket, to the boulder blocking the train track, allowing them to proceed to Spookane and Snowman. The owner of the facility, Mr. Duncan, also plans on building a strip club in Merrysville, but is opposed by petitioners during the events of the game; according to the Encyclopedia MOTHER, his full name is "Goldrich Duncan", he founded the factory in 1969, and is residing in Tokyo until the controversy blows over. Enemies here include Old Robot, Scrapper, Bomber, and Dr.Distorto. It is similar to Sweet's Little Factory. Oddly enough, this factory contains no factory-like objects, and instead more closely resembles a warehouse.
