1 Shopkeeper

Notes

Marketplace does not 'sell' food - it just distributes it (as do farms).

 

The advantage of using a marketplace over farms is that you can locate your marketplace close to your population, and that the marketplace tends to act as a warehouse of food, seldom running short, if your island is producing adequate food (whereas farms are seasonal and are often out of food).

 

If there's no worker, the marketplace is closed until a new worker starts there.
