Allow multiple locations for a context
Groceries, hardware shops, all sorts of locations that exist in multiple places but when you enter one as a context for your errands, you have to be near to that specific shop to have it show up as nearby. What is needed is a way to define multiple locations as hardware shops and be able to assign a context to an errand that catches all of them.

(E.g. "Buy cat food" in the "pet shop".
Pet shops are available in 3 out of 10 shopping centers.
I would like to assign my task "pet shop". Then assign the relevant "shopping center" also "pet shop", if available.
My mobile would then have to show me the task "buy cat food" at all shopping Centers, where I mark a pet shop.
Unfortunately, today I have to assign the task to all 3 Centers, otherwise I will not remember. -

I think Ofii means that some towns have 3 Home Depots, and it would be nice to be able to add all those locations to a single context. But as long as Dave Knight's suggestion works (it currently seems to be broken on Android), you could create your @HomeDepot context, then put it under @HomeDepot_123MainSt and @HomeDepot_456ThirdAve, each with its own location. It seems kind of backwards, but I don't think it'll work as well if you do it the other way around.

You can already embed contexts within other contexts. For example, you could embed @hardware_store within @Target. You could also embed @Grocery_store within @Target. That way when you were in target you would see you need milk and nails.
