They sell far more than houseware, pet food, gardening supplies, camping gear, art supplies to name just a few items.

So I think what I'll do for now is go ahead and add this under `shop=houseware` since both replies here are in favour of that. If in future consensus changes (and adding this into the index is likely to bring any disagreement that hasn't been raised here to the surface) then tagging can always be updated at the locations confirmed to be this brand (using `brand:wikidata`). ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] The Range - looking for tagging consensus
Added a new Range store a couple of weeks ago as shop=houseware although shop=homeware would be fine as well. I think department store has some Grace Brothers style connotations regarding layout that The Range doesn't have at all.

I'm actually leaning towards department store, but feel like OSM needs a new tag to specify which departments a department store has so that we can distinguish the huge ones from smaller ones like The Range or Laura Ashley (another brand I've struggled with categorising). ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] The Range - looking for tagging consensus
Thanks for doing this: I had wondered who the fairy was! As is often the case it might be easier to say which tags look out of place. - Department store should be reserved for what are classically called department stores and larger shops of the M type, not for a shop with a number of different departments (think Woolies before it closed and Wilkos now). These latter I would characterise as variety stores (because that's how Woolies was described in the trade press). Clothes have always been a major category for department stores & the absence of a broad clothing offering is, I think, a straight disqualification. (Aside: this is a good example of where some over-generalisation of a tag meaning actually devalues the overall value of the tag) - DIY looks wrong too. Some of the items in their DIY section just look like house wares to me (fans, dehumidifier etc), and many ranges are smaller than one would find in a small neighbourhood hardware shop. - Furniture Garden Centre & Interior Decoration, whilst all categories stocked at The Range are too restrictive in meaning. So I'd favour the remaining candidates & I think housewares or homewares is probably a better fit.
