Hi - I certainly would not add it to the same node. It's only coincidence that the tag is a different key so it lets you do that - and after all it may have different name=*, different opening_hours=*, etc. A second node is fine. For things like department stores (which have a big spatial extent) it's pretty clear that the main store can be a large way, and sub-shops can be nodes inside them.
