Carl Barks drew hundreds of shops in his stories (the vast term Shop in this page is defined - and confined! - to mean a mercantile establishment for the retail sale of goods or services as well as a small workplace where handcrafts or manufacturing are done). Some were merely drawn as backgrounds, some show the interior, and others played an important part in the plots. In many cases we were introduced to typical American types of shops with their special appearances and showing their proprietors and assistants. This page gives you examples of all the mentioned types - restricted to one example of each.
