How would you tag a shop within a shop?

For example, here it is fairly common to have a mini-bank branch and/or coffee 
(StarBucks) shop within a supermarket? I don't know how the ownership details 
work, but the amenities are branded differently than the supermarket and the 
employees staffing them are uniformed differently than the supermarket 
employees.

I've been "terracing" the shopping center so I can tag the portion of the over 
all center as a supermarket then adding nodes within that for the bank, coffee 
place, etc. I also add a note to the inner amenity nodes stating that they are 
located in the supermarket, though the only user of that information is like to 
be the next mapper that comes along.
