It seems there's a lot of shops to do before the next level.

Wondering if more badges open up new shops in the area?

What has been your experience with the badge system?

Hi Daniela,

More badges do not open up new shops - though they do make you stand out, and make your shop requests more likely to be accepted. You can find more info on the whole badge system here:
