From the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. The store list is the SNAP Retailer Locator's open data, last edited by USDA on 21 October 2026 and read on 28 October 2026. Authorization dates come from FNS's historical retailer file, which runs through 31 December 2025. ### Why do some stores have no phone or website? USDA does not publish them. We match each store to Overture Maps and read the store's own website. 59% of stores have a phone, 68% a website and 22% an email. The rest had none we could find. ### What is one row? One store. A store re-authorized under a new record id is one row, with the newest authorization first. record_ids keeps every id. ### Why are some authorization dates blank? FNS's historical file ends on 31 December 2025. A store authorized after that date has no date in it yet. authorization_date_note says so on those rows. ### How current is it? Snapshot built on October 28, 2026. It is a one-time snapshot and is not rebuilt on a schedule. ### How is this data cleaned? Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 28, 2026 from fns.usda.gov: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 28, 2026). Unified 3,656 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 28, 2026). Corrected 304 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 28, 2026). Removed the second copy of 4 street addresses that were typed twice in the same field (October 28, 2026). Added map coordinates to 0 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 28, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 248,418 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 28, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 14 points that fell outside that state (October 28, 2026). Flagged 784 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 28, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 28, 2026). ### Isn't this free on fns.usda.gov? The underlying records are public on fns.usda.gov. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: unified 3,656 city spellings, corrected 304 misspelled city names, fixed 4 doubled addresses, added the county to 248,418 listings, re-placed 14 misplaced map points, flagged 784 incomplete addresses and measured 248,740 rows. The current file was rebuilt October 28, 2026 from fns.usda.gov. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates. ### How complete is each field? Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: email 22%, phone 59%, website 68%, street address 100%, city 100%, state 100%, ZIP code 100%, latitude 100%, longitude 100%. 41 of 64 columns are filled on at least half the rows, and 2 are empty in every row.
