As with everything on this forum, posters tend take things to the extreme to try and labour their point. Listing every pharmacy, which by their nature tend to be a local services with their own catchment area, would be ridiculous. As would listing every Subway or McDonald's franchise.
On the other hand, buses informing where to alight for places like the Grainger Market, Quayside, Durham Riverwalk or Trinity Square, is likely to prove very helpful to those unfamiliar with the area.
What is it you're actually against here? This particular decision or next stop announcements overall?

Namechecking places like Grainger Market, Quayside, The Bridges, etc I think is fine, because they're actual places to go and host a whole range of businesses (even if they're a business themselves), and there's likely a whole range of activities to do there.
