Secret shop

Secret shops (Japanese: 秘密の店 secret shop) are a rare type of shop which specialize in selling rare and expensive weapons and items, appearing in eight of the sixteen games of the Fire Emblem series. Secret shops are typically the only place in a game where the player will find rare items like stat-boosters or class change items being freely sold, and are the only alternative to relying on receiving them from villages or treasure chests.

Anna welcoming a unit into a secret shop in Shadow Dragon.

“	Marth: But how do they stay in business? Jake: Who knows! Last I heard, they were desperate for customers.	”	— Marth and Jake

Secret shops are characterized as being very secretive and exclusive, so the entrances to secret shops are always carefully hidden on the maps and indistinguishable from ordinary terrain, and they can only be entered by units who possess a Member/VIP Card. Secret shops are always operated by the recurring character Anna, with the unusual exception of the Thracia 776 secret shop.
