11 years ago So there are a couple of levels of specificity here, there's a generic "Place", a more specific "LocalBusiness", a more specific type of LocalBusiness e.g. "Store" and an even more specific type of store e.g. "ClothingStore". Each one has a mix of different values, so a Store has values from Place, Organisation & LocalBusiness.
This is how the schema's work, where there are specific ways to format everything, and then "rollup" types that collect them toegether, so a Postal Address has a specific way it needs to be written - http://schema.org/PostalAddress - with inherited properties from Thing, ContactPoint & then specifics for PostalAddress.
It really depends on what address we're showing, if it's a customers address e.g. for shipping then we probably want to use "Place" as the rollup (http://schema.org/Place), with the physical address marked up according to the PostalAddress formatting (http://schema.org/PostalAddress).
So an example Address is:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress"> <span itemprop="name">Google Inc.</span> P.O. Box<span itemprop="postOfficeBoxNumber">1234</span> <span itemprop="addressLocality">Mountain View</span>, <span itemprop="addressRegion">CA</span> <span itemprop="postalCode">94043</span> <span itemprop="addressCountry">United States</span> </div>
Which when wrapped with a Place looks like:

We're displaying addresses in several places in Breeze Commerce. The markup for this should follow a standard format.
