## Example Fields

Column Name | Description | Type | Example

----|-----

*placekey* | Unique and persistent ID tied to this POI. See the [Places Manual] (https://readme.safegraph.com/docs/places-manual#section-placekey) for details on placekey design. | String | 222-222@222-222-222

*safegraph_place_id* | Unique and persistent ID tied to this POI (to be retired in favor of placekey). | String | sg:64d0ee4695af4ab4906fe82997ead9ff

*parent_placekey* | If place is a tenant / sub-store inside a larger place (e.g. mall, airport, stadium), this lists the placekey of the parent place, otherwise null. See more on parent-child relationships in the [Places Manual] (https://docs.safegraph.com/v4.0/docs/places-manual#section-spatial-hierarchy)| String | 223-223@222-222-222

*location_name* | The name of the place of interest. | String | Salinas Valley Ford Lincoln

*safegraph_brand_ids* | Unique and consistent ID that represents this specific brand. | List | SG_BRAND_80ca06abfa1a5104af9a770f485dad07, SG_BRAND_aa45997477591e27601c436bcb228d6f

*Brands* | If this POI is an instance of a larger brand that we have explicitly identified, this column will contain that brand name. This is an easy way to, for example, unambiguously select Target stores in the USA. A POI may have multiple brands, as in a new car dealership that sells Ford and Lincoln cars. | List | Ford, Lincoln
