[[Store|The Shopify store]] replaced the Yahoo Store on March 23, 2015. On April 1, 2015, the Yahoo store was officially made password-protected and is now defunct.

The footer

</div>

</div>

</div>
The '''store footer''' was a small animation at the bottom of every store page. It featured [[Bubs]] at his [[Bubs' Concession Stand|concession stand]], doing his "checkitout checkitout" dance from [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] (but without sound). The animation changed throughout the day and year. If you clicked on the 'D' in "BUBS' CONCES5ION STAN'''D'''", [[Homestar Runner]] would run in, do his part of the dance, and leave. In the winter theme, Homestar wore his hat from [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].

<li>After buying something, you were once taken to one of several short [[Store Thank You Messages]]. They stopped playing on October 9, 2008.</li>
<li>When you looked at your shopping cart, various items would randomly generate small Flash scenes with text on the page, with links to other popular items:
<ul>
<li>Strong Bad standing alone with a "GAR<s>B</s>AGE SALE" sign
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah?! You think that stuff is so great? Well, check out this other crap!!</li>
<li>Flicking the [[The Cheat's Lightswitch|lightswitch]], with a [[The Cheat's Glowsticks|glowstick]]:
'''THE CHEAT:''' "They told me to tell you that you'd also like these things.* Meh!" (*translated from the cheat)</li>
<li>Dancing at the concession stand:
'''BUBS:''' If you like that stuff, check this junk out!</li>
<li>Trogdor chasing a peasant, both drawn in pixel art
'''TROGDOR:''' This other stuff'll really burninate your cottage, peasant.</li>
<li>Running in place:
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hello. Umm... you forgot to buy this other stuff that you like.</li></ul>
</li></ul>

According to a former page on the Store, independent comic book, music/video, and other specialty shops would now have an opportunity to sell H*R merchandise (The Brothers Chaps say that they must never have a sale on the products or have the prices lower than TBC have them marked, to keep sales good). They used to be found with the [http://homestarrunner.stores.yahoo.net/storelocator.html store locator].

If you searched for Homestar Runner at [http://www.google.com/shopping Google Shopping] (formerly Froogle, then Google Product Search), you could see H*R products being sold at various other stores.

Homestar merchandise also turns up in the occasional issue of Previews Magazine (limited on-line version can be seen [http://previews.diamondcomics.com here]), which lists upcoming items available for purchase through local comic stores.

Merchandise was available for sale at Comic Conventions and shows around the country throughout 2005. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by [[Don and Harriet Chapman|Strong Dad and The Mother Chaps]]. Those who attended had a chance to win door prizes consisting of autographed merchandise. Freebies were included within every purchase.

Merchandise was also sold at booth #101 in the Exhibitor's Hall for all 4 days of [http://www.dragoncon.org/ DragonCon] in Atlanta, Georgia. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by the Brothers Chaps, the Family Chaps, and other members of the Homestar crew.

This location was parodied in the short toon [[TrogdorCon '97]].

Following the [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] announcement, certain items of Strong Bad related merchandise were added to the [[Telltale Games]] online store.

* While loading the musical shirt selection, a message flashed, reading "loading shirtfun".
* While loading a "Thank-you" message, a [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]] appeared reading "load 'er up".
* The Kick The Cheat plush toy was not available for purchase for a five-month period beginning 12 April 2005.
* In October 2009, the store received its own [[Domain name|domain]]. The store's URL is now "http://www.homestarrunnerstore.com", as opposed to "http://homestarrunner.stores.yahoo.net".
** The main pages continued to link to the domain the store sat at in 2004 (http://www.homestarrunner.com/store.html) rather than the current URL.

<span id="goofs"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Goofs</span> ===

* On the Store Locator map, Wisconsin was spelled "Wisonsin".
* On the Store Locator map, the links for Alberta and British Columbia were backwards; clicking Alberta referenced an anchor labeled "#BC", while clicking British Columbia references "#ALB".
* On the Store Locator map, Pennsylvania was not clickable, even though there is a store in the Pennsylvania section of the list.
* Nebraska, Oklahoma, Virginia, Wisconsin, Minnesota and British Columbia (Canada) were clickable on the Store Locator map even though there are no stores listed for these states.
* The July 23, 2007 front page update claimed the toy sale ended on "Sunday, August 4" (a Saturday), although the Collectible Figurines page had the correct date of August 5th.
* When looking at your shopping cart, the link for Kick the Cheat was still on, instead of it being taken out. However, instead of going to its page, you would get redirected to the shop homepage.
* There was a typo in the laptop skins description which said "slightly ''shutgunned''".

<span id="inside-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Inside References</span> ===

* The Store Locator on the yahoo store featured The United States and Canada in white underwear, a reference to [[weird dream]].
* The store's footer at the bottom of the store was Bubs's "checkitout" dance from [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].
* The "GARBAGE SALE" sign with the "B" crossed out was a reference to [[garage sale]].
* "Support the Municipality!" was a reference to an Easter egg in the email [[disconnected]].
* The page title was a reference to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
* The "slightly shotgunned" laptop skin referred to the Easter egg in [[virus]], where the [[Compy]] was being sold as such.

<span id="real-world-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Real-World References</span> ===

* The "Trogdor High-Score Club" patch may have been a takeoff of the old [[Activision]] club patches where sending a picture of a high score from the game would result in getting a patch.
