If you can't copy the opening hours data, are you sure you can copy the store reference?

I've already checked and I used shop=supermarket for their local store, probably based on

Subject: [Talk-GB] Farmfoods clean up

Hello everyone,

I'm intending on doing some maintenance on Farmfoods stores across the
country, and looking for some comments before I do. I've been looking
at it and as far as I can tell Farmfoods has 329 stores, with OSM
having 223 of them. I don't think I'm going to go through Mapillary
images to try and add the missing 106 stores, but I may do.

I'm going to use the nsi recommended tags:

"brand": "Farmfoods"
"brand:wikidata": "Q5435841"
"brand:wikipedia": "en:Farmfoods"
"name": "Farmfoods"
"shop": "frozen_food"

So I'll be unifying on on "Farmfoods" the majority are already tagged
as that with some using "Farm Foods" with various different
capitalisation.

This also means shop=frozen_food, currently they are mainly
shop=supermarket, although a surprising amount don't even have a shop
tag, or invalid tags like shop=food or shop=yes. I imagine this might
be a bit controversial, the standard map on osm.org seems to render
shop=frozen_food as a generic dot and label.

I'll add the website tag to the specific store page, eg
https://farmfoods.co.uk/store-finder.php?branch_code=880.
I can't copy any data from there but I would also like to add opening
hours, I can do this with opening_hours:url. So I can use the above
link or https://farmfoods.co.uk/includes/opening_hours.php?branch=880.
The second link is more specific to opening hours, and might even look
better if a user agent renders the page inline. But I doubt any user
agents do that, and I don't know how committed to those URLs Farmfoods
are, it would be unfortunate if they update their site without
redirects.

I could also add the stores number/branch code. 880 in the above
example. Should I use store_ref or ref:store, neither seem very common
according to taginfo GB.

I've done a similar thing for Asda except I had permission to use data
from there site, so we now have most of the stores (notes for the
remaining) and instore facilities like pharmacies and cafes. See
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/CjMalone/diary/392901

So any comments or anything I should/shouldn't do before I get started
on this?

Cj
