Custom Shops are shops that are not officially made by the games developers, but by the players of the game. Many individuals will create their own shops, some more impressive than others, which can sell many things, including Periodic items, such as the Pumpkin, Alpha Axe, Beta Axe, Glow Wood, gifts,the Rukiryaxe, and Loose Items like the Worklight, which people may have bought and have had no use for, so they simply sold it in a shop. This is also done with the players old axes, occasionally, like the Steel Axe or Hardened Axe. People usually open shops for a profit or to flog off their old items. New players usually wander in to custom shops, thinking they are normal shops like the Wood R Us. The more successful shops are well-lit and have walls all around. Some even have glass doors or/and a house above them. Most have a little workshop area behind them for alternate revenue with a sawmill.

It should be noted that these are not official aspects of the game, and are just popular among players, because some things like the Alpha Axe aren't available in a normal shop, and you need a custom shop in your server if you even want a chance at getting one. This is also the case with the Beta Axe.

When building a Custom Shop, many decide to create the word "Shop", showing that is the place where they sell their items, while others may choose a different name. It is very possible in the future that Defaultio, will add SurfaceGui signs specifically for this use. At the moment, some newer stores use wires to create text.
