Store finder for retail chains

Customers want to know which store is nearby and whether it's open right now. That's all a good store finder needs at first, but it has to be right.

The typical situation

A retail chain with dozens or hundreds of stores often keeps its location data in several places: the merchandise system, a spreadsheet and once more on the website. Holiday hours, a refit or a closed store are easily forgotten on the website, and customers end up in front of a locked door.

At the same time, the store finder is one of the most visited pages on many retail websites. Get it right and it sends visitors straight into your stores.

How My Store Locator fits

Opening hours you can rely on. Two time slots per day per store, for example around a lunch break, plus special days for public holidays, stocktaking or refits. Visitors can filter by "open now".

Show ranges and services. Categories such as "outlet" or "flagship store", and custom fields for services like click & collect, parking or step-free access. Custom fields can be shown on the map and used as filters.

Store managers keep their store up to date. With the store manager role, store staff edit only their own store, for example special days or the phone number. That takes work off head office.

Data from existing lists. CSV import with column mapping, up to 5,000 rows per run, and CSV export when you need the data elsewhere.

See what visitors do. Statistics count map views, searches, opened stores, directions, calls and website clicks, without cookies and without storing IP addresses. Top search terms are included from the Pro plan. On the Business plan, searches with no store nearby show where a new location might pay off.

Stores abroad, too. Addresses and coordinates work worldwide, and visitors can filter the map by country.

SEO location pages and business cards. On the Business plan you can also use SEO location pages and digital business cards for your stores.

Privacy without the cookie banner headache. Statistics set no cookies and store no IP addresses, only aggregated daily counters. If you like, the map only loads after the visitor clicks (consent mode). More on the GDPR & security page.

One code that stays. You embed the map once via iframe or JavaScript widget. If you later switch the template or design, the code on your website stays the same. New stores appear straight away, without your web agency lifting a finger.

For the classic store finder on your website, List + map is a good fit. If many of your visitors are on their phones, take a look at Mobile Sheet: a map with a pull-up list, built phone-first. Both are included in the Free plan. For individual store pages there is the Single location template.

As the number of stores, maps and users grows, you'll move to the Pro or Business plan. See pricing for details.
