Store location data

Store location data tracks the branches and outlets of chains and brands: retailers, restaurants, banks, fuel stations, gyms, pharmacies and service networks. Retail and real estate teams use it for competitor mapping and site selection, investors to follow expansion and closures, and consumer goods firms to plan distribution and sales coverage.

Typical fields:

• Brand and parent company
• Store ID and store name
• Address, latitude and longitude
• Store format or type
• Opening hours and services offered
• Opened date and closed date
• Status and last verified date
• Ticker for listed parent companies

Sources and collection

Most store location data is collected from brand websites and store locators, supplemented by official registries, press releases, partner feeds and field checks. Because chains update their locators at different speeds, providers track changes over time to detect openings and closures. History is valuable, since many uses depend on net store growth rather than a single snapshot.

Delivery and pricing

Delivered as periodic files by brand or country, warehouse shares or APIs, usually with change logs. Pricing is typically per brand, per bundle of brands, per country or an annual licence, with history and ticker mapping priced as extras.

Before you buy

• Check coverage of the specific brands and countries you need.
• Ask how openings and closures are dated.
• Confirm franchised and licensed stores are labeled.
• Validate a sample against the brands' own store locators.
• For investment use, check ticker mapping and point-in-time history.
