Seems the stores you listed are going to have different tags, example the
'dollar' stores are probably best tagged shop=variety_store, the wiki has a
pretty extensive list/description of the shop tags here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shop
However, I would say that K-Mart, Target, and
Personally, I tag big box stores like Target, KMart, WalMart etc with
shop=department_store, just because that seems like the closest fit that
isn't too restrictive (they're much more than a supermarket, to my mind).
You can pick an area and run Overpass Turbo and see what you get with

I don't know if it catches all the chains you are interested in, but Aaron
Lidman has been collecting the consensus tag schemes for various business

I get this question a lot during mapping parties -- probably because I
suggest these sorts of places as a user's first edit.
I wonder if we should add presets to iD for these sorts of places with tons
of locations (Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.) so that they show up when
searched in the preset list
I'd tagged a Dollar General and a Family Dollar as
shop=convenience but based on Russ's comment decided
to change them to variety_store.
After I did that, I wondered what the predominate tagging
was. First cut was to use taginfo to find all the
objects with a name of 'Dollar General' (295 at this
Hey guys,
I‘ve tried to solve a mostly related problem in iD last month. I just blogged
about it here: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/common-names-in-id/
You can try it out in iD here: http://openstreetmap.us/iD/master
Just add geometry, and search for a really common name, like K-Mart,

Martin,
I agree with a lot of what you're saying about department stores, but
not with what you're calling supermarket. I think the wikipedia entry
for supermarkets is good, so will suggest you read that:

We should create a general store type value, because Walmart,
Supertarget, etc are basically following the Fred Meyer model and Fred
Meyer never really stopped calling itself a genderal store until the Kroger
merger. Note, I'm only talking about the full-scale Fred Meyer locations

I know there's taginfo (including one for the US!

out what tag combinations are being used with a name=* (For example,
finding what tag is used most often with name=Dollar-General).

Ian,
I had a working list of this stuff, partially built from Paul Norman's list
