Motivation

[edit]

Unique venues intrinsically have a unique place name, but chains have the same place name and a unique number identifies this place. For most, but not all (see: Starbucks (Q37158)), chains, at least in the United States, this number is numerical and is incremented with each new store that is opened. If a store is closed, the number is not re-used. Right now, I'm using series ordinal (P1545), which seems wrong? U+1F360 (talk) 18:41, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
