Rules

Like everywhere on Scratch, the Community Guidelines apply.
However, here are a few more rules to respect :

Your shop must complete at least 1 order OR have 2 staff members so you can submit it
This is to avoid adding shops that go inactive or abandonned shortly after opening, since it adds extra clutter.

Do not ask to own the next Shopping Mall
See how to own it in the QnA

Fill the forms carefully
Maintaining this topic can be quite time consuming, so making sure to fill the forms correctly helps me a lot. Thanks !

Have Fun ! :D

History

The First Shop Directory
After being inspired by Scratch user “shiguy101”, Scratcher “ErnieParke” created the first ever shop directory on the Scratch 1.4 forums. The topic was active from 2012 to 2013, and by the time it ended, the directory had 12 shops listed.

The Shop Directory (Recreation)
After receiving ErnieParke's consent, another Scratcher by the name of “chocolatepenguin” reopened the original shop directory on the Scratch 2.0 forums. This new shop directory ran from 2013 to 2014, although interestingly, shop owners continued to apply until the thread was un-stickied in 2015.

The Shop Directory 2.0
After the official un-sticky-ing (for lack of a better term), of the recreated shop directory thread, Scratchers “purplebook163”, and “makethebrainhappy” saw the need for a new shop directory. Running from 2015 to 2016, this thread had about 40-50 shops registered, although the names of the shops were often duplicated, and so for that reason it is difficult to get an exact count.

The Shop Directory 3.0
When purplebook163 went inactive, makethebrainhappy began The Shop Directory 3.0 exactly one day afterwards. With about 50 shops listed, this thread ran from 2016 to 2017, until makethebrainhappy gave up ownership to users “Sigton” and “Monkey_Legend”.

The Shop Directory 4.0
The first attempt to create the Shop Directory 4.0 was made by the Scratcher “banana439monkey”. However, when the attempt was made, the Shop Directory 3.0 was still fairly active, as forums moderator Paddle2See pointed out. Finally, this attempt was closed. The first real Shop Directory 4.0 was started up by Sigton and Monkey_Legend. That specific thread ran from January 2017, to September 2017, and had an estimated shop amount that was well above 50 shops.

The Shopping Plaza (The Shop Directory 5.0)
After Sigton announced that the Shop Directory 4.0 was officially closed, Scratchers “_Lillion_”, and “Whitetiger456” began a new shop directory. Sporting a different title style than the rest, this directory ran from September 2017, to December 2017 with an estimated shop count higher than any of the past directories.

The Shopping Plaza 2.0 (The Shop Directory 6.0)
This short-lived shop directory was started by “rainpelt28”, and lasted from December 2017 to February 2018. When the directory was complete, it had an estimated shop count of around 20.

The Shopping Plaza 3.0 (The Shop Directory 7.0)
This shop directory was run by the users “CStafford-14”, “CCPlymJoe”, and “poppybunny”. Instead of the traditional shop directory approach, they attempted an unconventional PHP and external site approach to their services. This, however, failed quickly. Lasting about a month, this directory was closed with only 4 shopsThe link provided is only the forum topic, and the external site has been taken down.

The NEW Shopping Directory (Shopping Directory 8.0)
Seeing a need for a new shop directory, Scratch user “sonicfan12p” began this directory, and on the whole it lasted for a couple of months, with an outstandingly quick shop count of 33.

The Shopping Directory 9.0
After the inactivity of the previous shop directory, Scratcher “hellounicorns2” began this new directory. Lasting from May 2018 to July 2018, it was closed with a full 16 shops in its directory. hellounicorns2 had announced they were leaving Scratch and closed the directory shortly afterwards.

The Shop Directory 10.0
The Shopping Directory 10.0 was run by superben100 shortly after hellounicorns2 had closed the previous directory. Lasting not even a full month from the 29th of July to the 19th of August, it had a total of 13 shops at the time of its closure.

The Shop Directory 11.0
After @superben100 gave permission, @adsuri made the shop directory 11.0. The directory ran from August 2018 to May 2019, and had a grand total of 62 shops. Adsuri had also been unable to update the directory and decided to hand operations over to congyingzhou.

The Shop Directory 12.0
After 11.0 was closed, congyingzhou began the Shopping Directory 12.0 in May of 2019. Over its lifespan, the directory acquired over 150 shops and 15 federations, while the owner kept it alive for over 2 years, making it one of the longest lasting and biggest in history, although shop numbers are inaccurate or outdated. congyingzhou stopped responding to shops around March of 2021 and officially closed the topic in June of that same year.

The Shopping Mall 13.0
The Shopping Mall 13.0 was opened in June 2021 and closed in November 2021 due to the owner being inactive. DamianW987 promised JackBorderCollie to make 15.0 but the person who wanted to make 14.0 was inactive. He decided to make it.

The Shopping Mall 14.0
The Shopping Mall 14.0 was created by DamianW987 in November 2021. It was being updated until December, when the owner became inactive. Many people asked on DamianW987's profile to take over the directory but they were not replied to. Ham19-01-2011 decided to take over.

The Shopping Mall 15.0
The Shopping Mall 15.0 was created by Ham19-01-2011 on February 2022 and lasted until August 2022. It had 38 shops listed in it by the time it was closed. Aadish_1759 was supposed to make it yet went inactive before it closed. Rubixcube908 decided to take over

The Shopping Mall 16.0
The Shopping Mall 16.0 was run by Rubixcube908. It was running from August 2022 through November 2022. By the time it was closed, it had 14 shops listed. Rubixcube908 had found it hard to run, and accepted debanane's offer to run the next directory. I don't blame him

The Shopping Mall 17.0
The Shopping Mall 17.0 was run by debanane, and lasted from November 2022 until February 2023. This directory was unique in that the owner would review shops and give them ratings, although they seemed to be mostly arbitrary and some shops did not receive reviews. By the time it was closed, it had 24 shops listed.

The Shopping Mall 18.0
The Shopping Mall 18.0 was run by MyScratchedAccount, who had a unique approach to the directory by running it similar to a federation, with reviews every now and then on the shops. It lasted from February 2023 until April 2023, when the owner went inactive. It had 27 shops listed but interestingly, people would keep trying to add their shop until may, when Rubixcube908 tried again at running a directory and started 19.0. Gosh quoting everything was painful. This was the first directory to have removed the quote boxes for the history section.

The Shopping Mall 19.0
The Shopping Mall 19.0 was run by Rubixcube908, marking the second time a user had returned to run the Shopping Directory. The directory ran from March to September 2023 and did not reintroduce reviews, although shops were not being accepted past August. The directory closed with a total of 24 shops and 1 federation, with Rubixcube908 deciding to resign from running it. Holy smokes, this list is getting long.

The struggle for ownership

In the early days of 19.0 came an issue: Everyone wants to own 20.0. After all, 20 shopping malls is one big of a milestone! That's why, a total of 5 people called dibs on the next directory. This resulted in a list being created:

Rubixcube908 wrote:
You know what, Im making the list

20.0- Cabbage_2020
21.0- 78ch3
22.0- CodeKing_11
23.0- IzyantheLegend
24.0- Fluffygamer_
why did I have to do this.. why?

An official list was created as a separate topic by Digital-_, who became inactive, and was then maintained by depresso-boiyo before being tranfered to seg-leinad, owner of the latest list topic.
Cabbage_2020 later swapped places with 78ch3, who became the owner of 20.0.
sidenote to say my english was terrible back then, I once said “do the owner is still active ?” TwT

The Shopping Emporium (Shopping Directory 20)
The Shopping Emporium (Shopping Directory 20) was run by 78ch3, following Rubixcube908's resignation from running the previous Shopping Directory. 78ch3 had given it a new name, inter-shop order completion and a Shop of The Month system, although it did not have its own reviews. It ran from September 2023 to early June 2026, a remarkably long iteration. It no longer accepted shops past February 2026, as the owner supposed to take over took a long time to make 21.0, only releasing it multiple months after 78ch3 had asked them to do so.
The Shopping Emporium had a total of 3 federations and 9 shops when closed, but accumulated a total of 59 shops and 7 federations in its lifetime.
Congratulations, 78ch3! And sorry for taking so long to make 21.0.
