Chains
Factual has created explicit associations between national and local brands and their brick-and-mortar locations. Users can query the Places dataset explicitly by chain name or chain ID to obtain a list of stores representing that chain. Examples include Starbucks
, Walgreens
, and 7-Eleven
.
Scope
Related holding companies and corporate entities are not included. There is no hard-and-fast definition of a chain; it may be privately held local chain with only a few stores, or a publicly held national brand with thousands of locations.
Attributes
There are two chain-related attributes in Factual's core attribute set:
No. | Attribute | Datatype | Description | Example |
