as there is that brand tag, than using that would seem the best way to convey that the building is a Safeway, name being Safeway #xxx means it's the name of that particular Safeway and could be useful to people who are looking at the map and then may want to look up the store on a website somewhere, and can thus use the map to figure out easily which Safeway we're talking about. One of the main complaints has been that Safeway #xxx might not come up in a search for Safeway, but I think if we shouldn't tag for the renderer, then I think the corollary don't tag for the geocoder also applies.
