The Shops
The shops featured in the initial episodes were:
- Kitty's Record Bar (a record and tape store)
- Aristocrat (a dry cleaning store)
- FlashBack Leisure Centre, (a pinball parlour)
- Toby's, (a sit down restaurant)
- Pendleton's Health Studio (a health and workout studio)

In later episodes, a small (illegal) casino was introduced in an apartment above the Arcade - many of the characters lived in apartments above the Arcade - and at the time the series was taken off the air, a large new set had been built featuring a nightclub and bar called "The Sawmill".

Famous quotes containing the word shops:
“And in the shops nothing
For people to eat;
Nothing for sale in
Stupidity Street.”
—Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)
“In an age robbed of religious symbols, going to the shops replaces going to the church.... We have a free choice, but at a price. We can win experience, but never achieve innocence. Marx knew that the epic activities of the modern world involve not lance and sword but dry goods.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
