By every lane there is a side shop available, allowing quick purchases without leaving the lane. However, if the lane's Guardian is destroyed, the side shop closes and will not sell any items for the rest of the match. Players can only buy items at their own team's side shops; with the exception of {{HeroIcon|Rem}}, who can send his {{AbilityIcon|Lil Helpers}} to purchase queued items from any shop. | By every lane there is a side shop available, allowing quick purchases without leaving the lane.

* The side shops had wheels and tracks leading to each team's base, indicating that at one point in development they were supposed to move along the lanes. This was changed after the [[Map Rework]] update. | |||
* Before the {{Update link|October|2|2025}} update, Secret Shops temporarily closed when players from both teams were nearby. | |||
* The shape of the shop's minimap icon is more reminiscient of its [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']] design. | |||
* The ''Team Fortress 2'' community map [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Freaky_Fair Freaky Fair], released in the 2024 Scream Fortress update, has a parody of the Curiosity Shop called the "Upgrade Station", with [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Merasmus Merasmus] as the Shopkeeper. | |||
