Answer 1

Geocoding is a very indirect solution, and like the second responder said, if you do "Apple Store" it may not return the full address. Instead:

Place_ID contains everything you need. I am assuming you know how to get the place_id from the Places API (they have a full example if not).

Then pull a second request for the place details (including latitude and longitude under the geometry section) using the place_id following this documentation: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details?utm_source=welovemapsdevelopers&utm_campaign=mdr-devdocs
