Indeed.  And that "Franchise" detail can be inferred from the URL alone:
https://hdcontent.homedepot.com/StoreAssets/StoreMaps/0627.pdf
http://stores.*lowes*.com/*lowes*/cgi/site?site=2851<http://taginfo.openstreetmap.us/tags/?key=url&value=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.lowes.com%2Flowes%2Fcgi%2Fsite%3Fsite%3D2851>
In one neat package you have a mechanism to both have richer data, and to
flag obsolete data.


One could leave all the heavy lifting to the URL:

website=http://jobs.chipotle.com/search/00697


Or try and use ref:

operator=Chipotle
ref=697

With some external lookup for all the various data that can be inferred
from a store identifier.
