Why this list is worth using

Independent retail is where most local businesses sit, and it buys the most varied things — stock, POS, delivery, marketing, a storefront online. An online store on the shop's own site is the dividing line: those with one are already selling remotely, those without are where e-commerce tools and agencies start.

We count shops with a live Google listing across clothing, electronics, furniture, gifts, jewellery and more, and read their websites.

Built for retail POS and inventory software, wholesalers and brands, e-commerce builders and marketers.

How to turn this into conversations

  1. Tell Mantis what you sell and where. It reads your website, works out who buys from you, and plans the search — this page is one of the lists it can build.
  2. Pick the businesses with a reason to buy now. Filter on the signals above — no booking, no tracking, an outdated site, hiring — and Mantis ranks the rest by fit and reachability.
  3. Reach them where they answer. Email sequences from your own mailbox, or AI voice calls in English, Hindi and Hinglish, with replies summarised in one inbox.

Common questions

How many retail stores are on this list?

326 at the time this page was generated, with the most in Chicago (326). The count is queried from our index whenever the page is rebuilt (at most daily), so it moves as we find and re-check businesses.

Where does the data come from?

Businesses are found on Google Maps by category and area, deduplicated, and checked: whether they have a website, whether that website is really theirs (a Facebook page or a directory listing does not count), and — where there is a site — what it says. Emails are taken from the business's own pages, never guessed from a pattern.

Does the list include email addresses?

Yes, where the business publishes one on its own website. We read sites continuously; emails appear as each site is read, graded from a named person's address down to a generic inbox.

Can I download it?

Not from this page — names are shown here because they are already public on Google Maps; phone numbers, emails and addresses are what you unlock in Mantis, a business at a time or in bulk, and export from there. Free to start: every account gets 500 credits once.

Is it legal to contact these businesses?

These are businesses, contacted at their published business details. B2B outreach is generally allowed, but the rules differ by country — the UK and EU expect a legitimate-interest basis and an easy opt-out, India's DPDP Act covers personal data. Mantis adds unsubscribe handling to email campaigns; check the rules for the countries you sell into.

How is this different from buying a retail database?

A bought list is a snapshot — often years old, priced per record, and blind to businesses without a website. This one is built from live map data and our own website reads, and Mantis re-checks a business when you use it, so you are not paying for closed shops and dead inboxes.
