Are you really going to use OSM for looking up those specialty stores and
see whether they sell item X ? I rather search the internet. After I read
the shop's website and verified they sell X, I take their address and name
and use those in e.g. OsmAnd to get me to the place.
Where would you end up otherwise ? Tag all breads and the days they are
available in a bakery ? All softdrinks and their brands available in a
supermarket ?
Of course for more tourist related features (cafes, pubs, hotels, etc, )
it's nice that I can find them directly via OsmAnd POIs without research on
the internet.
So I wonder whether it is not enough to have some rough classification for
the shops you are describing with links to their websites so one can do a
full text search there to see whether the shop fulfils one needs.
