shoppes
Olde-timey retail establishments
Shoppes is an archaic or pseudo-archaic spelling of shops, used almost exclusively in the names of retail establishments to evoke old-fashioned charm or quaintness.
The spelling appears on storefronts for boutiques, gift stores, and small commercial plazas, especially in tourist areas or suburban strip malls: Ye Olde Gift Shoppe, Towne Centre Shoppes.
The affectation suggests a cozy, handcrafted atmosphere, though it is often applied to thoroughly modern businesses.
