An archaic or deliberately quaint spelling of 'shop', often used to suggest traditional craftsmanship or old-world charm.
Middle English variant of 'shop' from Old English sceoppa 'booth, stall'. The 'pe' ending represents an older spelling convention that was largely standardized to 'p' by the 18th century.
The 'shoppe' spelling is almost never historically accurate when used today - it's usually a 20th-century marketing invention to create an old-timey atmosphere. Real medieval shops were more likely spelled 'shoppe' only inconsistently, as spelling wasn't standardized.
