Garlicmonger

[…] a plethora of taverns, victuals, brew houses, hostelries, bathhouses, brothels, bearbaiting and bullbaiting arenas jostled for space with shops of stockfishmongers, garlicmongers, and bakemongers.

In the real world a network of middlemen handled goods of all kind: even in the apparently simple world of horticulture leekmongers and garlicmongers bought up sacks of vegetables and passed them on to retailers.
