"Wilkinson" we know are in a process of rebranding to "Wilko"; so I 
might be tempted there to add notes to ask if a particular shop has been 
rebranded yet.  Just changing "Wilkinsons" to "Wilkinson" might suggest 
that you know that a particular shop was "Wilkinson" on a certain date, 
which isn't the case.

"Thompson" is also a very common name; I'd be wary of changing those 
without a local survey.

"Phones 4u" shops I'd expect would need resurvey due to the administration.

I'd be very careful with "Majestic" to avoid e.g. curry houses.

Cheers,

Andy
