Ok Divergent views.
I’ll leave the name tag alone, but add the brand tag where missing for ALDI (all caps is more ‘popular’ according to taginfo – world wide search and Australia only search), Woolworths, Coles and IGA. Don’t think there can be any objections to that?
As for 'what we say' .. well going to 'the footy' does not mean the oval has that name... talk leaves lots of detail out except when talking to tourists who probably don't know the local 'features'. Any map would have to assume a lack of local knowledge too.

The Coles supermarket in a nearby suburb is "Coles <building_name>". So the brand seems to form part of the name in each case. Thus, for me, the name would be "<suburb> Woolworths" and, if considered necessary to add a brand, then the brand would be "Woolworths" but probably not necessary. I recall some service stations where the name and brand are quite different and where both would be appropriate e.g. "<town> Service Station" or "<location> roadhouse" could have an additional "brand=*" as the brand is not included in the name. Personally I would regard my local Woolworths and IGA supermarkets as their respective names.
