Tag:shop=trade

A place of business that sells to a particular trade or trades, but normally also retails to normal consumers. Examples include building supplies, timber yards, plumbing specialists, agricultural supplies and so on. The most general tag should usually be used, where, for example, a building supplier includes timber as well as cement, bricks, etc. In some places this would also be called construction materials.

How to map

Set a node or draw as an area along the shop outline. Tag it with shop=trade and name=*. If the shop specializes in one or more trades, add trade=*. For an industrial supply store that doesn't specialize in a particular trade, omit the trade=* tag.
