If some establishment is not showing up on your Garmin GPS you can add it by what is called a POI (Point of Interest) file. You can also add an icon so that it will appear on the screen and also add voice notification that you are approaching that establishment.

I have created a number of my own POI files for things like all the rec centers in TV, all the golf courses in TV, all the restaurants that are golf cart accessible and all the restaurants that are on TV Gourmet web page that are within a 30 mile radius of TV. Also created POI files for all the Bealls and Bealls Outlet locations in Florida.
