Hot Spot Shops App has included the main Shops powered by Instacart. Just you will let me know in what city you live or in what city you do shopping and I will include the shop. You can write me at jorge@hotspotshops.com and let me know in what city you do deliveries and We will add as soon as I can. May be the reason is because some store chains are local. But I will add it as soon as I can.
