Earthworks

General

• Located on Dalia Way
• The first store to rely on selling nothing but Earth goods
• Owned by and funded by Mitchell Alba
• Assistant manager: Caryl Hyte
• Competitor to Hannigan's, run by Lauren Hannigan
• Will carry the Academy/Mind Candy adaptation of the classic game Stone Chase.
• Towards the end of 2006, following the City Council election and start of the Earlywine era, Earthworks started to see a dramatic loss of profits. The Restitution of the Cube, usually a big gift-buying time for people all over the city, saw almost no sales at all going to Earth-based objects and holiday devices. Said Owner Mitchell Alba: "I'm considering discontinuing those lines for next year, unless something drastic changes."
