Closed, Says Google, but Shops’ Signs Say Open

One near us that I've been trying to fix for a few months now: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?cid=4953579680281476323

It's the best Sushi in West London, but when the owner entered into a deal with some other stores to create a common brand to help increase awareness and sales someone must have reported it as closed.

It's the same staff, same menu, same decor, same everything... except the name.

As I use Google Places a fair bit I felt that others might not go because of the listing, so I've been trying to fix their listing without a great deal of luck so far.

At least this conversation reminded me to click "Not true" yet again. Perhaps today a Googler will read this and 're-open' them.

Google needs a "Name changed to xxxx" option alongside "Permanently Closed" in this situation, with a pointer to the new place.

They have that (instead of report a problem, click "Edit this place"). They also let you change your own businesses name whenever you want. It's an easy process.
