Retail Network

The Retail Network acts as the shops in the world of Final Fantasy XIII. Players make purchases through the online shops by accessing the Save Stations scattered around the map.

Unicorn Mart

 * "Reliable service from a name you can trust. At Unicorn Mart, your health is our business! Our expert pharmacists are standing by, day and night, to send you whatever you need, wherever you need it."

Unicorn Mart sells items that are used during battle. It is available from the start of the game.

Eden Pharmaceuticals

 * "A Sanctum-affiliated institution in the public sector conducting both academic and industry-sponsored research. Let Cocoon's own sciences empower you as you help to fulfill her destiny!"

Eden Pharmaceuticals sells rare and expensive items and shrouds. This network is obtained after defeating the second encounter of the Proudclad in Eden.

Up In Arms

 * "If history has taught us anything, it's that everyone dies eventually-but at Up In Arms, we help you to ensure your enemies do so as soon as possible. From classic pieces to cutting-edge upgrades, we've got all! Edged weapons and Up In Firearms gun selections fully Sanctum-approved."

Up In Arms sells weapons with no additional special effects. This network is obtained after defeating the Garuda Interceptor in Lake Bresha.

Plautus's Workshop

 * "Brute force may win the easy battles, but readiness wins them all. Our master craftsmen produce only the finest in specialized weaponry, granting you the edge that separates the best from the rest (in peace). Discerning customers agree: if you want quality, you want Plautus."

Plautus's Workshop sells weapons that grant special effects for the user, but have less Strength and Magic Power than weapons bought elsewhere. This network is obtained after defeating the Havoc Skytank in Palumpolum.

Gilgamesh, Inc.

 * "No information on this corporation is available to the public."

Gilgamesh, Inc. sell weapons that boast the highest Strength and Magic upgrades, but have a detrimental side-effect when used in battle. This network is obtained after completing Mission 46.

B&W Outfitters

 * "City life getting you down? Answer the call of the wild! With B&W gear to protect you, a trek through the lowlands is a walk in the park. Why not leave the hustle and bustle behind, and return to nature. It could be just the vacation your soul needs."

B&W Outfitters sell accessories that either boost the wearer's stats or increase their resistance against status ailments. This network is obtained by defeating the Pantheron in the first battle of the Pulse Vestige.

Magical Moments

 * "'An enchanting charm, to protect that special someone...' Heirloom-quality luxuries, steeped in the powers of antiquity. All accessories legally crafted and certified free of l'Cie magics."

Magical Moments sell accessories that bestow status enhancements on the wearer at the start of battle or when their HP is low. This network is obtained after defeating a Feral Behemoth in the Gapra Whitewood.

Moogleworks

 * "Greetings, Kupoteers! At Moogleworks, you'll find accessories the likes of which you've never imagined. What you do with them-well, that's something your imagination can help you with, kupo!"

Moogleworks sell accessories that grant special effects at the start or at the end of battle. This network is obtained after defeating Cid Raines in the Fifth Ark.

Sanctum Labs

 * "A Sanctum prototyping laboratory dedicated to the production of next-generation combat gear. Your visit to this site will not be detected by the military, l'Cie. Your access trial has been concealed by the fal'Cie from the very start."

Sanctum Labs sell powerful and expensive accessories. This network is obtained after defeating the Anavatapta Warmech in Eden.

Creature Comforts

 * "If it bleeds, you can kill it. If you can kill it, we most likely carry it! Freshly harvested scientific specimens, bushmeat, and organic materials. When you can't wait for nature to take its course, set course for Creature Comforts".

Creature Comforts sell organic components which are used to boost the EXP bonus of weapons and accessories but don't award much EXP themselves. This network is obtained by defeating the Aster Protoflorian in the Gapra Whitewood.

The Motherlode

 * "Celebrating 120 years of mineralogical excellence, made possible by the faithful patronage of our distinguished customers. When it comes to stones and metallurgy, Motherlode knows best".

The Motherlode sell transformational catalysts, which are used to transform a weapon or accessory into a more powerful form. This network is obtained after defeating the Midlight Reaper in Nautilus Park.

Lenora's Garage

 * "Scrap parts- you name 'em, we've got 'em! *n00b manuals not included* With bargains like these, shops IRL are no match for Lenora's."

Lenora's Garage sell mechanical components which are used to significantly increase the EXP value of a weapon or accessory but also reduces its EXP bonus. This network is obtained after defeating the Dreadnought in the Vile Peaks.

R&D Depot

 * "An experimental military research facility specializing in arms manufacture and bioweapons development. Seize the means to fulfill your focus, l'Cie. Fal'Cie power will see it delivered unto you."

The R&D Depot sell powerful and expensive components and transformational catalysts. This network is available after completing Mission 07.

Trivia

 * The Retail Network is the only place in the game that features the Final Fantasy XIII version of Moogles or mentions the recurring characters Biggs and Wedge along with Gilgamesh.
 * The three Sanctum-operated networks all display hidden messages from an unspecified fal'Cie, possibly Barthandelus, to the party. In one such message, the fal'Cie explains that their 'network trail', akin to an IP address, has been obfuscated. This would explain the curiosity of Pulse l'Cie purchasing battle-related products from Cocoon shops.
 * In Final Fantasy XIII-2, it is revealed that Maqui operated Lenora's Garage during Final Fantasy XIII.
