The Shoppers are a gang in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Although they do not use any weapons and usually don't attack the player or other gangs, the in-game stats considers them a "gang".
Turf
The Shoppers can be found inside the North Point Mall, often standing in groups of three or more, potentially going up to six. There are two types of Shoppers inside the mall; the first is found during the daytime (05:00 – 20:00) and the second during the nighttime (20:00 – 05:00), which makes it unlikely that the two types can be found together. The former are not violent, and when the player attacks them, they will almost always run without attempting to retaliate; however, the latter are much more similar to street criminals, and will attack the player if they are attacked, only running if they are shot at.
Trivia
- The Shoppers, Golfers and Counterfeit Syndicate are the only gangs in GTA Vice City that contain female gang members, although the Shoppers have more than one female model.
- The Shoppers have the most member models of all gangs in Vice City – while other gangs have 2 member models, the Shoppers have 5.
- The Shoppers are the only gang seen exclusively in an interior. Other gangs seen in interiors are Diaz' Gang, Vercetti Gang and Patrol Invest Group, but those can also be seen outside interiors.
- Killing the Front Page Café Owner in Bar Brawl raises the statistics of gang members killed, and he is added to the number of Shoppers killed.
- During the rampage inside the North Point Mall, the player is required to kill members of a different gang with a Rocket Launcher. Although members of the other gang appear, clusters of Shoppers also appear. They, however, do not add to the number of gang members killed required to pass the rampage.
- One of the male Shopper models can be seen as part of the Costa Rican gang in the mission The Fastest Boat.
