The United States Retail POI Dataset delivers precise lat/long coordinates, verified brand attribution, and update timestamps across retail locations nationwide, purpose-built for trade area and proximity analysis. For the first time, you can confirm a competitor or co-tenant is still operating before the deal is done.
Most data vendors sell you a national license to millions of records you will never contact. BigGeo works differently.You tell us where you sell, and we cut you exactly that geographic slice of the dataset. A single city.
A cluster of ZIP codes. A metro area. A county. Whatever matches your territory. The result is a lean, CRM-ready file containing only the companies in the markets you actually work, delivered at a fraction of the cost of a full national license.
Every trade area model is only as good as the underlying location records. Most retail POI data in the market is months out of date, missing brand context, or imprecise enough to introduce material error into catchment and proximity calculations. Brokers and developers are making seven-figure site decisions on data that was never built for underwriting rigor.
Every record carries exact lat/long coordinates, not street-segment approximations. That precision is what makes sub-half-mile trade area rings and drive-time catchments analytically defensible rather than directionally approximate.
Each location is attributed to its parent brand and concept, so you can segment by chain, filter by category, and answer co-tenancy questions in seconds instead of manually reconciling store names from three different source lists.
Every record carries a timestamp indicating when it was last verified. You can filter to recently confirmed locations before running a proximity analysis, which means your underwriting model reflects the retail environment as it actually exists today.
Coverage spans retail locations across the United States, giving you a consistent data layer whether you are evaluating a single candidate site or running a portfolio-wide gap analysis across multiple markets simultaneously.
BigGeo AI is available today inside ChatGPT and shipping in Claude, giving your team direct access to this dataset through plain language queries with no GIS software and no analyst bottleneck. Instead of waiting for a data pull to answer a competitor density question, you ask it the way you would ask a colleague and get a precise, data-grounded answer in seconds. The underlying location data never leaves the governed compute path, regardless of how you access it.
