Just rewatched the direct and can confirm that Katrina is placed just bellow Sahara. So I don’t think they’ll add more stores than those.
I think they went above and beyond my expectations. Really looking forward to it!
On the other hand, I just can’t believe that none of the content is part of the base game itself. Everything is just behind a wall of updates. It is what it is though.

It’s for your home (adding ceiling items/paint specific walls)

Yep. However, if you think about it, we’ve all already invested so many hours in the game that this 2.0 update seems strategic. It feels like awhole new game added into the other one. 500+ more hours into the game lol

Pro Construction is increasing from 8 to 10 inclines and bridges, ceiling furniture/accent walls is Pro Decorating.

Feel free to call me Sheep
Thank you for this, this is huge info! There was speculation on how this would work in the DLC thread. You might want to cross-post this there.
I guess I'll be upgrading to a family plan to get perks on my side houses. I don't remember it costing too much more than the normal plan...?

Adding the stores to Harv's island was a creative way to do things. I really wanted new NPCs and the existing NPCs to have stores like this (Kicks REALLY needed his own store for example, not be a traveling NPC all the time), but to add them to the island itself would use up island space. I know some people really don't want more buildings. And this gives more reason to go visit Harv's island. I thought I would like Harv's island when it first was a thing, but in practice I don't really use it.
That's true for many features we have now in NH though, like sea creatures, Redd's art, Gullivarr, etc. I do agree it's kind of annoying. It almost feels like it doesn't really even matter much that you have a physical copy of the game, since due to updates, it feels like a large percentage of the game is now stored on your Switch anyway.

This should be taken with a grain of salt, but the Nintendo leaker who has been right about almost everything else said they think it's coming later (if it doesn't turn out to be a surprise).

Despair has its own calms
I’m glad they’re giving incentives to do HHD for island visitors, cus otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered. Now I’m gonna be playing to get money for new furnitureeee.

I tend to agree with this leaker. It COULD be a surprise addition, but I feel like that's a big enough thing that they'd want to advertise it during the Direct if it was coming now.
The Direct said that the Nov 5th update was the last major free update, but the key word is major. They're going to still do smaller updates. They kinda have to, due to holidays. They could potentially put the store upgrade in one of these minor updates... though a Nook store update still sounds like a larger thing to me, so who knows.
I seriously doubt Happy Home Paradise will be the only paid DLC now that they've opened that barn door, so we'll see.

TBT added the Direct to the home page.
The gyroids would look so nice displayed on shelves or wall shelves with how small they are now. A huge shoutout to Nintendo for making them customizable. This is a small but very important feature. Now we can fit them to our island aesthetic!
