Shoppes are charged more in weekly tax than stalls, but offer several advantages for the cost.


 * Size - Shoppes are larger, offering more storage space than stalls. This is most important for Shipyards, which can manufacture any size ship, whereas a stall cannot hold enough wood to make merchant galleons, war frigates, or grand frigates.
 * Location - Shoppes have their own storefront, so if someone is looking for an ironmonger, say, they probably won't check the bazaar first, and so draws more pirates in for labor and sales. Shoppes are imediately available from the minimap
 * Managers - Shoppes can have up to five managers; a deluxe stall can only have two.
 * Name - All shops have unique names, whereas stalls are named based on the stall owner (e.g. Poseidon's Ironmonger stall).
 * Deed - Unlike stalls, shoppes have a deed that can be traded just like a ship deed. This allows a pirate to use the store deed portrait item in portraits.
