Thanks for all the responses, very useful discussion and I was totally unaware that some locations bear the additional "Home" branding.
@SK53 Looks like there's only one instance of `shop=furnishings`. I think both of these options seem sensible: 1. Add "Laura Ashley" under `shop=clothes` and "Laura Ashley Home" under `shop=furniture` (or similar) 2. Add "Laura Ashley" under both `shop=clothes` and `shop=furniture` and leave it up to mappers to pick what's most suitable for their location On Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 11:09 AM SK53 <sk53....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I actually went and scouted out one of my local stores > <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/244747285> after the last post.
