About the SNAP Retailer Locator
Locator Objectives
The SNAP Retailer Locator is a user-friendly
web based application that provides easy access to the location of the
nearest SNAP approved stores. Enter any full address, city and state, or
zip code and get a list of the 10, 25, or 50 closest SNAP retailers
plotted on a map.
Who should use the locator?
Primarily designed to help SNAP recipients, the
tool is also helpful for state eligibility workers, community
organizations (such as food banks), and others offering assistance to
SNAP recipients. Stores that accept SNAP benefits will also benefit from
SNAP participants having ready access to finding a SNAP approved store
in their neighborhood.
Download Options
All of the data included in the locator,
including latitude and longitude coordinates, are available on a
state-by-state basis for easy download from the
SNAP Retailer Locator home page. These Comma Separated Value (CSV)
files can be opened by most desktop spreadsheet applications (e.g. MS
Excel). The entire national data set is also available as a consumable
map service.
