Comment from Binzy_Boi
Hi hoserab,
I've been noticing there's been some oddness going on with the address of the East Village Superstore location. The Store Locator for Superstore shows the address as being 428 6Ave SW, whereas it's shown as 540 3St SE currently on the point. I was wondering how the current address was sourced.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Binzy_Boi,
To be perfectly honest in this changeset I just fixed the tagging of the address; another contributor had put addr:housenumber=240, 540, but I recognized that they meant "Unit 240, 540 - 3rd St SE". (It's a pretty common error that inexperience contributors make.) I presumed it was correct because it jived with some of the other businesses like the TD bank branch on the first floor (Unit 110, 540 - 3rd) and it makes sense that it would have a unit number in the 200s because the store itself is on the second floor.
I think the confusion arises because there are multiple municipal addresses for commercial retail units in the same building. As far as I can tell the Winners on the south side is "428 - 6th Ave SE"; the vacant CRU to the east of the Winners (maybe it's not vacant anymore, haven't been by there in a while) had an address of 436 - 6th in plain white lettering above the door. The Scotiabank and Freshslice Pizza around the corner on the 4th Street side have 4th St addresses.
In my experience sometimes retailers are a little lazy about having their "correct" address posted to their website when it's a unit in a building with multiple municipal addresses. They themselves probably don't know any better or care, as long as they still get deliveries of product for sale and garbage pickup. :)
As a sanity check I often use https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/info/mc/personal/postalcode/fpc.jsf to double-check if an address "exists" in the Canada Post postal code system. According to Canada Post there is a Unit 240, 540 - 3rd St SE, postal code T2G 1T4.

A good example of this confusion is at "The Core" shopping centre. If you go to the shopping centre's website it gives an address of 324 - 8th Ave SW. In reality this is several legally distinct properties that all happen to interconnect to form one shopping mall. "The Core" is just a branding exercise: the mall itself is still separately and distinctively composed of spaces in TD Square (317- 7th Ave), the old Eaton Centre (751 - 3rd St) and the old Eaton's department store space that became a Sears and is now Holt Renfrew (510 - 8th Ave).
