A number of Go Outdoors stores are now branded as Go Outdoors Express - it seems most of the smaller high street stores are GOE and the larger warehouse-type stores are GO.

So as well as the existing brand, need to add:

brand=Go Outdoors Express
brand:wikidata=Q75293941
name=Go Outdoors Express
shop=outdoor

Unless either of you object, I'll change it to brand=Go Outdoors

Why so?

This is still Go Outdoors. Go Outdoors website, Go Outdoors social media, Go Outdoors brand. The only thing that is different is the name on the door.

But isn't the same true for say, Tesco / Tesco Express?

At least they have unique brand:wikidata, but even then, I would argue that was a mistake and I was one of the ones that argued for it. Nero Express Is an example of a shared brand, different name. Or EDEKA.

I've given Go Outdoors a unique wikidata as well.

I'd disagree, separate name, separate store type, separate logo in some cases.

By sticking with just "Go Outdoors", that, to me, is more operator branding than branding branding. Same with the likes of Tesco Express / ASDA Express / Morrisons Daily / Sainsbury's Local, etc, they're similar, but still different enough from the parent branding to qualify for a unique entry.

Although, Go Outdoor / Go Outdoors Express are in the same category, unlike the Supermarket / Convenience Store difference.
