Specifically, yes.
So your excuse is invalid.

Unfortunately, the store name and swordfish don't have a Mouse or a Cat on them.
Which is UTTERLY IRRELEVANT to a Swordfish and a Nautilus being as different as a Cat and Mouse are.

Cid being desperate looking for a gunblade specialist, which implies that there's a very little amount of gunblade specialists in the world of VIII. So, perhaps he or whoever else encourages students to be gunblade specialists by mass marketing the gunblades.

That's another explanation, yo.
Wait, Cid saying 'At last, a specialist' means he's desperate? Gunblades specialists being rare- due to their hard to master nature- means Cid is mass marketing?
You are leaping from non sequitur to non sequitur.

We were shown three gunblades in this store. I'm using THAT premise to introduce a possibility of Square removing the function of a certain weapon shop. That's not completely baseless as the three gunblades being displayed inside a store is considered as a fact.
You're using it to conclude they took out a shop where you can purchase additional weapons, instead of an upgrade location like everywhere else in the game.
