For the same reason as doing nodes at a mall or similar. To know the stores/services available, not just the type of stuff that is usually there.
If your tagging fast food, why would you not tag the McDonalds in the super walmart as well? Or the bank ect. As for the walmart services themselves, that can be one node, but with the seprate services listed in tags.
