Joost de Valk AKA Yoast, discovered that the list of Schema LocalBusiness types has been greatly expanded. I looked at it not that long ago and all these categories & sub-cats were not there.

Here is Joost's list which is great because it shows all the sub-cats all broken out for each primary cat. New LocalBusiness types – Schema.org news

Thanks Joost for the head's up!

Here is a direct link to the Schema LocalBusiness Page
 
That's great news. Now if the powers-that-be can only figure out a way for the "little guy" to adopt Schema widely (without having to hire one of us local-search-obsessives)...

Thanks for passing that along, Linda!
