Expansions to market shops will be restricted to one small building. It should be limited to things that actually fit this premise, e.g. a small greenhouse or bathroom. If you have something in mind but are in doubt as to whether or not it would be allowed, consult staff before building it. There will be no barracks, warehouses, taverns or anything like that attached to independent PC shops.
There will be more documentation for the market soon. Until this is released, the basic rule of thumb is that the Market Watch effectively owns the place and keep a pretty firm law inside the market, making sure that it's safe for the residents. They do not tolerate any hostility more severe than common fisticuffs in the Boozer, and they would not allow any businesses to expand so much that it could challenge their rulership of the area. The visible guards should not be regarded as the entirety of the Market Watch, nor should one assume that breaking the rules is okay just because there isn't currently an enforcer in the vicinity. If shops are being used to murder people in, expect the Watch to come and investigate.
As a final note, while we do not impose restrictions on what may be sold in a PC-run shop, goodwill goes to those who limit themselves to a theme instead of just using their shop to sell anything and everything they have sitting around. It's nicer for everyone if the shops are a little unique and people know where to go for what. Having a couple of different types of things for sale is fine, but it looks a bit odd if a single shop is selling food, guns, medicine, electronics and hides.
This is a guideline, not a rule. The only probable consequence for not adhering to this will be the likelihood of drawing the ire of the many other businesses you're trying to compete with. Overly careless upstarts have been known to turn up dead in an alley when they stepped on too many toes.

A couple questions:
Each mob enforcer still counts as 4-5 people, correct?
The Market Guard run every gate, including a small contigent at the West Gate?
So the Market Guard consists of at least, let's say(all the gates and mobs considered) 40-60 people awake and working at one time?

The enforcer mob is a group, but its sdesc is made to look like an individual so it doesn't look weird in combat. Think of it as a small squad patrolling around, but don't think of it as "there's only three guards in the market."

Sure, something like that. More extensive documentation on the market is currently being written, questions of that nature are best saved for that.

I saw the enforcers attacking someone once, and they were bashing their torsos into the criminal. Is that normal?

Except, instead of throwing us from the ring, there tossing us from the market....Or our lives. Whichever is easier for them.

Sometimes I struggle with my demons. Other times we just fuck and have cheesecake.

So what is a shop owner to do if they want to expand beyond a shop with a closet? Join a family or suicide and recreate in a family?

Start an underground coalition of merchants and rebel against the Market Watch? Grease the right palms for the right to expand? Do it anyways and face immediate retribution? The possibilities are endless.
