May I suggest a way to add retail stores with pre-defined linkages to supplier?

The reason I suggest is because often I want to expand retail quickly by building many 6 stores per city, to up to 5 cities, and it would be easier to be sure I'm getting supplied by my own warehouse which I can pre-define, instead of autolinking to some random supplier.

Also, it would be good if, when choosing the supplier, we can see which one is a warehouse and which one is a factory.

I agree something along this line would be desirable, but understand it could take extensive coding. How about adding 2 choices to the game options: disable/enable purchase from own company when available and disable/enable purchase from warehouses when available. With those 2 choices plus autolink enabled you could build the outlet, save the desired products in your library and then plug the layout into the other outlets. It would connect to your warehouses/ factories closest to the outlet automatically. Seems like this should be simple to implement.
