I have a client who owns a small retail store and has a Facebook page. When someone at the location checks in to the place, it creates a new page. I click on "know the owner" and send out the invite email and Facebook gives a prompt for editing the page. It also says that you will be able to combine the pages in the "next step"—I finish all the steps and there is no option where I can combine the pages and it creates a new page every time.
Any idea how to combine the pages?

Here are the steps:
Make sure the page category is set to Local Businesses & Places otherwise the above won't work.
As far as the address information goes; Facebook gives the disclaimer:
Make sure to wait a few hours (I'd bet on just wait until the next day) to see that your business is on Places.
For the second part of your question, I have not ever been able to combine pages successfully (I manage a six location restaurant chain's digital presence) so I always just take control and try to direct the visitors via links to the official page.
