Either they are associated with Ace Hardware, or they are not. If they are, then it's probably easiest to use brand=*. I doubt very much that they are a co-op. My suggestion: brand=Ace Hardware name=(the store name) operator=(the name of the owner) Best wishes, Andrew On 30 August 2013 11:55

There's the question of tagging the services available: - law enforcement / search and rescue - interpretive exhibits - maps - permits - entrance fee payment - museum - naturalist contact And a *separate* question of appropriate rendering. It is typical on paper maps to see
