houseware seems the best tag in this case, initially future wasn't listed.
Home store is more American than English.

In reality this type of tagging will always be difficult, few shops fit exactly 
into one tag and maybe some sort of multi-tagging is needed. For example how do 
you tag Canadian Tire? They sell bits for cars and TVs.

kitchen
simple repair
simple furniture
basic linens


I prefer the term "home" store, personally, but that is just because I like the 
word better. I feel that "home" is synonymous with housewares.

I would have thought that would be shop=cookware. But only used 9 times
on the planet.



It's not only about cooking, there may be (here in Italy, at least) 
decorations, some furniture like tables and chairs, lamps, so it's more of a 
shop that sells houseware with a possible focus on kitchenware.


I think I'd be equally good with household and houseware as a value - even 
though houseware seems to be more fitting, but this may be due to a 
misconception that I have because I'm not a native English speaker.


Ciao,


Simone
