Local nomination

[marufs7]

There’s a local departmental store near my house Idk if it’s eligible or not , also I don’t know how to submit the nomination.

It cannot be viewed on the Google map but is easily accessible by pedestrians and locals

Can you explain how it is a

• great place for exercise
• great place for exploration
• great place for being social with others

Something being “easily accessible” doesn’t fall under any of those.

Hello @marufs7

Generic shops are not normally eligible.
Can you tell us a little more about the area you are interested in submitting in? If you can tell us more we might be able to help.

Hello,

There is more clarification in regards to businesses, and how they can be generic or be non-generic:

Generic/Non-Generic Businesses

There are many stores, restaurants, and businesses that may seem generic or not notable at first glance, but can be eligible with the proper supporting information. Generic Businesses A store that may be considered generic may not hold much cultural importance in larger cities, but these places can function as social hubs in more rural areas. Supporting evidence should be provided that makes a good case for why a seemingly generic business is a great place for the local community to explore or…

Department stores may also be chain businesses, with many locations, and they are typically viewed as generic businesses and ineligible.

As Eli said, feel free to provide more info about the area, such as the general location, and we can take a look to see if there’s anything that could be nominated.

If its shopping mall, it might be eligible

Shopping Plazas

Plazas can be great places to socialize and explore. Large shopping centers or stripmalls can be destination attractions and cultural hubs. They may contain outdoor social space, shops, and businesses which on their own are not eligible, but together can become an interesting place to visit. The supporting text should demonstrate why these are great places to be social and not just to conduct business.

Other than this, since lots of restaurant can be considered generic business but if you can find mural/playground/art/fountain inside that business, that thing inside might be eligible. So back then, i check all restaurant near me, one by one.
