Reliable Research

Our in-house staff of editors and research professionals compiles CSG data. While some companies simply compile data from sources such as the Yellow Pages, we go the extra mile to independently research every company that we profile.

Chain Store Guide's editorially defined universe of retail and restaurant operators consists of independents and chain operators that have been thoroughly researched and validated to meet strict criteria for inclusion.

Our staff contacts these companies by phone, fax, mail or email to verify information on a daily basis. The result is better data--truly useful data you can count on to build your business.
