I wonder if we should add presets to iD for these sorts of places with tons of locations (Starbucks, McDonald's, etc.) so that they show up when searched in the preset list by the user.</div><div class="gmail_extra">

<br>You can pick an area and run Overpass Turbo and see what you get with different tags, for example: <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/?value=department_store&key=shop&template=key-value" target="_blank">http://overpass-turbo.eu/?value=department_store&key=shop&template=key-value</a><br>
<br></div>Alternatively, you can run a search by name (ie <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/?value=Target&key=name&template=key-value" target="_blank">http://overpass-turbo.eu/?value=Target&key=name&template=key-value</a>) and see what you get. I did this in Chicago, and found Targets tagged department_store, supermarket, and hypermarket(!)<br>

However, I would say that K-Mart, Target, and Wal-Mart (especially the<br>
'super' kind) maybe don't fit any of the documented tags; I think there was<br>
some talk about adding a "big_box" or "superstore", maybe hit up the tagging<br>
talk-list to see if that's still in the works.<br>

Subject: [Talk-us] Tags to use for chain stores in the United States<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
At past OSM meetups that I've organized, new mappers have asked me<br>
what shop=* tags to use for several chain stores in the USA and I had<br>
not found any clear or consistent practices of what tags to use for<br>
these stores and even as a relatively experienced mapper, I wasn't<br>
sure what tags to encourage them to use.<br>
<br>
I am writing to hear what you've used, which ones are most popular,<br>
and perhaps the US community could build a consensus on them (gasp!).<br>
<br>
For example, several chain stores that we have wondered about include:<br>
K-Mart, Target, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar,<br>
'Bed, Bath, and Beyond'; TJ Maxx; Marshall's; Radio Shack; Meijer's;<br>
Kohl's; Costco; BJ's; and Big Lots.<br>
<br>
I know there's taginfo (including one for the US!<br>
<a href="http://taginfo.openstreetmap.us" target="_blank">taginfo.openstreetmap.us</a>) but unfortunately, it doesn't let you find<br>
out what tag combinations are being used with a name=* (For example,<br>
finding what tag is used most often with name=Dollar-General).<br>
<br>
