I'd like to point out that I've seen a lot of chains like these tagged with a wikipedia=* tag for the brand, they should use the brand:wikipedia tag instead. This is a big problem for Nominatim right now, as it ranks results based on wiki tags. So if you are going through these it would be a great time to fix these as well.
