Find independent stores near you to pitch your food or drink
Type a town and radius. You get the independent cafes, juice bars, health-food stores, delis and grocers nearby, with the phone, website or email OpenStreetMap has for each, plus a CSV you can keep. It runs in your browser against OpenStreetMap's free public services, so we never see or store what you search.
What this is, and what it isn't
- It gives you candidates, not a verified list. OpenStreetMap is volunteer mapped, coverage is uneven, and only a minority of shops carry an email. In our own sample run for Asheville, NC, 2 of 45 shops listed one.
- It removes anything tagged with a brand and names on a list of common national chains. "Independent" is still a guess, so skim the list before you use it.
- It finds shops, not buyers. Look at each store's website or call, and verify any email before you send to it.
- Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). If you publish a list built from it, credit them. Each search makes one lookup and one query to their public servers, so please don't hammer it.

The free Indie Retail Doors list sends a handful of independent doors and one outreach tip by email. The full method for finding, pitching and following up with independent stores is in our guides.
We're a small Virginia beverage brand (Robby Ds Lil Greens). This is a stripped-down version of the OpenStreetMap step in our own prospecting for independent stores. The same logic is open source (MIT) at github.com/robbydslilgreens-bit/indie-door-finder if you would rather run it as a script.
