Shoppe

Shoppe, an adult store on South 24th Street just east of downtown Phoenix, pairs a retail floor of toys, lingerie, and DVDs with a digital arcade, private booths, and theaters, and it runs around the clock. Regulars, especially night-shift visitors, describe a welcoming, non-judgmental spot where the staff make them feel safe and at ease, and several praise a recent remodel and a couple of associates for warm, quick-witted service. The reviews are genuinely split, though. One traveler found the store sketchy, unclean, and unpleasant-smelling, and another reported a rude, hostile encounter with a morning staff member. Experience clearly varies by shift and time of day. A fit for Phoenix shoppers near downtown wanting a 24-hour arcade and shop, best visited when the well-reviewed evening crew is on.
