I think of Meijer as a department store, though it's a big one.  I
wouldn't complain if somebody added a separate node for a grocery
store as well. Same with some of the other super-type stores I've
seen.  I think the Brits are calling them Ultra-Markets?   Adding tag
for the internal fastfood, photomat and bank isn't bad.  Is there a
way to predict exactly which services will be at one of these ultra
markets?  Which one has a leather-repair / shoe repair?
