Hi,

I have read the description of the variable id_store and I appreciate it if you can clarify the definition of "company". It says as below:

id_store is a unique ID tied to this point of interest (“POI”). This ID is guaranteed to be persistent across the lifespan of the company, excluding M&A events.

If a public company closes one of its stores at a certain POI, which means the public company is still alive but only that certain store closes, will the id_store linked to that POI change?

I am looking for a unique store identifier that will be persistent only during the lifespan of this store. When the store closes and a new company comes to the same location to open new business, the store identifier will be updated. Does any of the variables meet this requirement?

Best,

Xin
