For more than 75 years, Chain Store Guide (CSG) has been the leading provider of comprehensive and definitive retail and foodservice intelligence to businesses around the world.

The effort, commitment and dedication to quality demonstrated by the founders of Chain Store Guide have served as the model for continued excellence.

As retail channels and industries developed, Chain Store Guide was there to define the markets. Today, Chain Store Guide continues to be a primary source of information that business professionals rely on for timely and accurate data on the evolving retail and foodservice industries.

CSG data is compiled by our staff of editors and research professionals. While some companies simply compile data from sources such as the Yellow Pages, Chain Store Guide researches every company profiled. Our staff contacts these companies by phone, fax, mail or email to verify information and ensure data is accurate and current. The result is better data -- truly useful data you can count on to build your business.

CSG also offers data in more useful formats, including printed, online and customized databases. And if you need customized research, questionnaire design, fieldwork, tabulation, analysis or reporting, look to CSG. Chain Store Guide is the only source you need for in-depth information on retailers and their customers.

CSG’s database details all major retailers, restaurants, distributors and wholesalers in the United States and Canada with contact information on more than 195,000 key executives and buyers.

Chain Store Guide is a subsidiary of Lebhar-Friedman, Inc., publisher of such industry standards as Nation’s Restaurant News, Chain Store Age and Retailing Today.
