Research · Store Intelligence

Nobody else has mapped these shelves.

Ethnic grocers and restaurants are where diaspora food is actually sold — and until now there was no directory of them. Store Intelligence maps the ethnic retail and restaurant universe worldwide: who they are, what community they serve, where they cluster, and how to reach them.

What you get

Inside Store Intelligence.

01

Stores and restaurants, both

Grocers, supermarkets, halal butchers, sweet shops, bakeries, wholesalers — and the restaurants and takeaways that buy in the same category. Sixteen outlet types in all, because a distributor sells to both.

02

Twenty-six communities

Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Afghan, Turkish, Arab, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, African, Latin American and more — so you target the shelves that already sell your category rather than every shop in a postcode.

03

Country Insights — diaspora market profiles

For each market: the size of the community from official national statistics, where it concentrates, its composition by origin, and a written profile of who those people are. Germany, for instance, resolves to 250,000 Indians concentrated in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and Hamburg.

04

Live store breakdown per country

Beneath the demographics sits what we have actually mapped there — Germany alone runs to 26,916 outlets across 796 cities, split by store type and by community, and filterable down to a single city.

05

Potential tiering

Every outlet scored high, medium or low potential, so a distributor visit list is ranked before anyone gets in a car.

06

Contact channels on the record

Phone with line type, website, and the social channels each outlet actually uses — the store is reachable, not merely locatable.

07

Map view and postcode search

Switch from table to map, or drill by postal code and street to plan a route rather than a spreadsheet.

08

Saved views and configurable columns

Build a filter once — community, type, tier, city, open status — save it, and choose which of the nine columns you want in front of you.

09

Watches and alerts

Save a filter and be told when new outlets appear in it, instead of re-running the same search every month.

10

Newly discovered and hidden

See what the pipeline has found since you last looked, and hide the outlets you have already worked so they stop competing for attention.
