Primrose Paper Mill

The Primrose Paper Mill is a fictional business featured on the NBC supernatural crime drama series Grimm. It first appeared in the third episode of season one titled, "BeeWare".

History
The Primrose Paper Mill was a business located in Portland, Oregon. It had been around for several generations and was founded by the family of Melissa Wincroft. Melissa Wincroft was a supernatural breed of Wesen known as a Mellifer, and several of her employees, such as Doug Shellow and John Coleman were also Mellifers. Melissa regarded all of her employees as part of her family.

A rival business sought to buy out the Primrose Paper Mill, and hired the law firm of Berman, Rautbort & Associates to represent their interests. The buy-out resulted in the closure of the mill, which emotionally and economically destroyed Melissa Wincroft. Melissa knew that the lawyers who worked for Berman, Rautbort & Associates were Wesen of the Hexenbiester variety, and sought revenge against them for destroying her family's enterprise. To this end, she sent a killer bee to assasinate a lawyer named Serena Dunbrook. The next victim of Wincroft's wrath was Dunbrook's colleague, Camilla Gotlieb.

Investigating the strange deaths were Portland Police Bureau detectives Nick Burkhardt and Hank Griffin. Their investigation led them to the paper mill where they began scouring the inside of the building. They were driven off by a swarm of bees, some of which stung Detective Griffin numerous times.

When a third lawyer at Berman, Rautbort & Associates named Adalind Schade was targeted, the Portland Police Bureau placed her into protective custody. Melissa Wincroft and her Mellifer agents tracked Schade down and abducted her, bringing her back to the paper mill. This led to a shoot-out between Detectives Burkhardt & Griffin and Melissa Wincroft. Ultimately, Nick Burkhardt shot Wincroft, saving Schade's life.
