This was great, thank you for sharing.

The dataset claims there are significantly more Citibank locations than McDonalds worldwide which I don’t think can be correct?

It also lists over 56,000 Wildberries worldwide but a quick Google search shows they are a large online retailer. I wonder what is going on with the brand POIs…

Glad you enjoyed it.

There should be enough SQL in the blog to re-purpose extracting out the Wildberries locations and seeing where they land on top of. I've never heard of this firm before you mentioned it.

From Google:

> Citibank operates over 2,300 ATMs within more than 600 U.S. branches, with a total network of over 65,000 fee-free ATMs

So the 57,163 Citibank locations are probably a combination of their branches and ATMs.

Update: I reviewed Alltheplaces a while back, they scrape company websites for store locations. They reported 68,227 locations for Wildberries. ATP is one of the sources Overture use but they seem to use 1.55M of the records from their 19M-record dataset. https://tech.marksblogg.com/alltheplaces.html

A quick overpass-turbo search for "brand:wikidata=Q24933714 in Moscow" https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2kaO (Q24933714 being Wildberries https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24933714 ) reveals that almost all locations are tagged shop=outpost https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Doutpost which identifies them as pick-up locations for goods ordered online. I assume the dataset in the post has mostly the same locations.
