This dataset provides standardized records for physical retail and on-premise outlets across 40+ countries, each assigned a permanent unique store identifier. It includes individual store names, parent company ownership relationships, standardized postal addresses, geocodes, and FIPS codes where applicable. Locations are classified using a two-tier channel and subchannel system based on accepted retail categories and include flags for on-site sales of gas, liquor, wine, beer, and pharmaceuticals. The database is continuously maintained to reflect openings, closings, and changes in ownership, banner, or supplier. With geocodes and hierarchical ownership data, it supports mapping, proximity analysis, territory planning, distribution measurement, and historical tracking of location attributes.

Key attributes include:

• Persistent unique store identifiers that remain with a location over time

• Store-level names and parent ownership relationships with hierarchical grouping

• Standardized postal addresses, geocodes, and FIPS codes for spatial linkage

• Two-tier channel and subchannel retail classifications

• Boolean flags for on-site sales of gas, liquor, wine, beer, and pharmaceuticals

Commercial teams, manufacturers, and retailers gain a consistent, geocoded view of physical outlets to improve territory planning, distribution measurement, and product availability analysis across multiple countries.
