What are top retailers?<\/h2>\n

Top retailers are the largest companies in the country by sales volume. This includes online retailers, which is why you\u2019ll see Amazon.com listed even though it doesn\u2019t have as many physical retail locations as others in this list. Brick and mortar Amazon-owned stores are included, such as Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh.<\/p>\n

Since top retailers include regional subsidiaries and brands, we\u2019ve streamlined the process to find national and regional brands under their parent companies. For example, you can get results for Food 4 Less (a Kroger company) and Marshall\u2019s (part of TJX Companies).<\/p>\n

Overall, top retailers are more than just big businesses. They are known as dominate the national and local markets. These retailers are often anchors in shopping centers and malls, major consumer destinations, and account for a large proportion of retail sales in a market.<\/p>\n

Understand parent companies and subsidiaries<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

National chains are parent companies with region-specific subsidiary chains, or children companies. For example, search by the top retailer The Kroger Co<\/strong>. In different parts of the country, your POI results map each location, even if it has a different regional name. For New Mexico, there\u2019s Smith\u2019s, Illinois has Ruler Foods, and Missouri has Gerbes Super Markets. You can use this information to understand what the dominant chains are in different geographic contexts without having to search for each regional branch.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2943957,"id":2943957,"title":"","filename":"top-retailers-2.png","filesize":50170,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/analytics\/search-for-top-retailers-in-arcgis-business-analyst-web-app\/top-retailers-2","alt":"Comparison of Kroger results regionally","author":"321952","description":"","caption":"","name":"top-retailers-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2943054,"date":"2025-10-20 13:55:55","modified":"2025-10-20 13:56:01","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":624,"height":182,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2-213x182.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":182,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":135,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","medium_large-width":624,"medium_large-height":182,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","large-width":624,"large-height":182,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","1536x1536-width":624,"1536x1536-height":182,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","2048x2048-width":624,"2048x2048-height":182,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","card_image-width":624,"card_image-height":182,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-2.png","wide_image-width":624,"wide_image-height":182}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

While there aren\u2019t any Kroger results in New Hampshire, there are several other top grocery store retailers, like Hannaford, Shaw\u2019s Supermarket, Trader Joe\u2019s, and Whole Foods. Searching by top retailers gives you insight into where brands operate.<\/p>\n

Every point on the map represents a physical business location, which shows how brands are aggregated or may be present in the most visited locations in a town or city. Typically, these retailers shape real estate development not just as major businesses in the area , occupying the largest stores and signing long leases, but also in attracting other retailers, restaurants, and service providers to be near them. Many other businesses like to be near a top retailer because they drive visitation and spending. Consumers will cross-shop to other locations while visiting these anchors, consume food in nearby fast food or sit-down restaurants as well as visit specialized retailers like book or shoe stores. Visitation and foot traffic help make these co-tenanted businesses more visible, successful, and viable.<\/p>\n

For example, if we map all the top retailers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, there are results for 7-Eleven, CVS Pharmacy, HomeGoods, and more.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2943958,"id":2943958,"title":"","filename":"top-retailers-3.png","filesize":131417,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/analytics\/search-for-top-retailers-in-arcgis-business-analyst-web-app\/top-retailers-3","alt":"Top retailers in Ann Arbor","author":"321952","description":"","caption":"","name":"top-retailers-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2943054,"date":"2025-10-20 13:57:31","modified":"2025-10-20 13:57:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":583,"height":312,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":248,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","medium_large-width":583,"medium_large-height":312,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","large-width":583,"large-height":312,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","1536x1536-width":583,"1536x1536-height":312,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","2048x2048-width":583,"2048x2048-height":312,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","card_image-width":583,"card_image-height":312,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-3.png","wide_image-width":583,"wide_image-height":312}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Use top retailers for additional analysis<\/h3>\n

You can use the understanding of key locations as a starting point to perform other analyses including site selection, business cannibalization, competitive analysis, and creating marketing presentations. Your top retailer selections can be combined with heat maps of independent stores, overlaid on other POIs, married with a smart map search layer of spending patterns.<\/p>\n

Top retailers streamline searching<\/h3>\n

Of course, you could perform a similar name search without using the top retailers search option. For example, you could search using an advanced search condition<\/a> to only show businesses with the name Target<\/u> located in Montana. But the results are less focused because many businesses can contain the word \u201cTarget\u201d and it’s challenging to predefine the best search based on category or NAICS code options.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2943961,"id":2943961,"title":"","filename":"top-retailers-56.png","filesize":57127,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/analytics\/search-for-top-retailers-in-arcgis-business-analyst-web-app\/top-retailers-56","alt":"Search results for Target in Montana","author":"321952","description":"","caption":"","name":"top-retailers-56","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2943054,"date":"2025-10-20 13:59:39","modified":"2025-10-20 13:59:50","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":598,"height":278,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":216,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","medium_large-width":598,"medium_large-height":278,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","large-width":598,"large-height":278,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","1536x1536-width":598,"1536x1536-height":278,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","2048x2048-width":598,"2048x2048-height":278,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","card_image-width":598,"card_image-height":278,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-retailers-56.png","wide_image-width":598,"wide_image-height":278}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

There are results for pest control, energy management systems, department stores, and more. If you were only interested in the top retailer Target, you\u2019d have your work cut out for you to filter the search or add more search conditions. With top retailers as the search option, it\u2019s easy!<\/p>\n

In conclusion<\/h3>\n

Hopefully you\u2019ll find ways to use the new top retailer search option in your own analysis and site investigation workflows. This capability will continue to be developed and enhanced, alongside other POI analysis tools and capabilities, to provide you with even better experiences.<\/p>\n
