We track every single retailer, big & small, nationwide
The Local Data Company (LDC) is the leader in retail location data and insight, combining an army of locally-based field researchers and bespoke software to deliver the most powerful insight to the market.
In addition to knowing where every retailer is in the UK, by surveying each premise every 26 weeks, we also know who is opening and who is closing; the history of each premise; the best classification mix for a town centre; and exactly where the 45,000 vacant retail units in the UK are located and we’ll even tell where your nearest pub or bar is located (along with a hi-res digital photo of the outside) so you can unwind at the end of a long hard day!
Unparalleled insight into the UK retail & leisure sector
LDC has built a strong reputation for providing the best retail and leisure data to the business location, local search, and retail insight markets. We form the backbone of key local search products for Google, Microsoft and Facebook. We enable Waitrose, Costa, CarphoneWarehouse and HSBC to understand their store networks and, as importantly, their competitor’s. Experian, the leading global information services company, is a key customer and strategic partner. And our insight, and detailed knowledge of town centres, is used extensively by the BBC and the national press.
