There is a vintage clothing store I think be a good fit as a stop/gym, but is currently marked as a powerstop ingame.
Is there a process for requesting conversion or removal of the powerspot?
Having a lot of unique businesses being marked as powerspots make it hard to submit new waypoints in certain areas.
Please advice

You can just submit the wayspot. It wont affect your nomination. Below is my example.
Imported powerspot doesnt affect nomination because its not considered wayspot
Why would a clothing store be a good wayspot? “Generic business” is a rejection reason. Can you explain how it meets any of the acceptance criteria from Niantic Wayfarer
Must meet at least one of the three eligibility criteria
- A great place for exploration
- A great place for exercise
- A great place to be social with others
It’s not a clothing store, it’s a vintage boutiqe selling a curated selection of rotating refurbished clothes, furniture and other goods.
The store is ran by a semi high profile writer/collector.
I’ll have to get all that across in the submission though.
now this i might want to visit! be sure to put as much in the description as you can, and then provide links in the supporting section that prove what you say.
I have to disagree. Even a vintage clothing store was built for transactional profit - people go in, pay money for something, and leave. It’s not inherently a place to meet up and socialize. It’s not a museum for exploring.
Do they host events, or have a permanent display of something interesting?
It needs to be a great place to explore. A destination to go to. It is up to the submitter to demonstrate that this is such a place.
For me events or permanent displays would not be a necessity.
They have said it has more than clothing there, so it may possibly be about stepping back in time. It sounds an unusual place with a knowledgeable person to discuss your interests with. There is the local element to consider - in this area is this an unusual place. It doesn’t sound a generic business.
Those elements start to make me think it’s the sort of place you might go out of your way to visit, not everyone would be interested but that shouldn’t rule it out. It is very much a case of making a judgement call based on what is presented.
