1.1M+ independent retail stores in the US.
traditional databases can't find them.

The family-owned grocery store in Pilsen, the independent pet supply shop in Ravenswood - these are the businesses that make up 45% of all US retail locations. Most aren't well represented in traditional B2B databases - many rely on Google Maps, state business registries, and review platforms rather than corporate websites.

AI agents that find retail stores
where they actually operate.

Independent retail store owners aren't in traditional B2B databases. They're on Google Maps listings, Yelp business pages, state business registration databases, and local chamber of commerce directories. Origami's AI agents search these sources in real time, surfacing stores, owners, and growth signals that traditional databases were never built to find.

Google Maps as the source of truth

Independent retail stores live on Google Maps, not traditional databases. Origami searches Google Maps listings directly, pulling store name, owner, phone, hours, rating, review count, and category so you can build targeted lists of independently owned stores in any city.

Review velocity as a growth signal

A store that went from 50 to 200 reviews in 6 months is growing fast. Origami tracks review velocity over time, surfacing stores with accelerating customer traffic - a leading indicator of expansion readiness and marketing budget.

New location openings as expansion signals

When a store owner files a permit for a second location or posts hiring ads in a new neighborhood, they're scaling. Origami monitors local permit databases and job postings to identify stores in active expansion mode.

Store type as precise segmentation

Not all retail is the same - a butcher shop has different needs than a convenience store. Origami classifies stores by specific type using Google Maps categories, Yelp tags, and menu data so you can target exactly the segment that fits your product.

Frequently asked questions.

Can Origami find independent retail stores owners and decision-makers?

Yes - Origami searches Google Maps, industry directories, licensing databases, and the live web to find independent retail stores along with verified owner names, emails, and phone numbers. Traditional databases like Apollo and ZoomInfo have poor coverage of this vertical because they rely on social profile data, which most independent retail stores owners don't maintain.

Why can't I find independent retail stores in Apollo or ZoomInfo?

Apollo and ZoomInfo index social profiles and enterprise firmographics. Most independent retail stores owners are missing from traditional B2B databases or enterprise records. Origami is built differently - it searches Google Maps, state licensing boards, industry-specific directories, review sites, and real-time web data to find independent retail stores that traditional B2B databases miss entirely.

What information does Origami return for independent retail stores?

Origami returns company name, owner/decision-maker name, verified email, direct phone number, address, Google rating, review count, employee count, and any available growth signals like recent hires, new locations, or service expansions. All contact data is verified in real time.

How is Origami different from Apollo, ZoomInfo, or Clay?
  • Cheaper: Paid plans from $99/month.
  • Simpler: Start with one prompt, no filters, booleans, or new tool to learn.
  • Same depth: We integrate the same kinds of data sources as Clay, without giving up simplicity.
How accurate is the contact data for independent retail stores?

Emails are 95%+ accurate. Origami waterfall-enriches across multiple providers and verifies in real time. Phone numbers are validated the same way. For independent retail stores specifically, Origami cross-references multiple sources to ensure you're reaching the actual owner or decision-maker, not a generic info@ address.

Can I search for independent retail stores by city or state?

Yes. Just describe what you're looking for - "Find independent retail stores in Phoenix with 4+ stars and 10+ employees" - and Origami handles the rest. You can filter by any combination of location, size, ratings, reviews, hiring activity, or growth signals.

Can I import my own list of independent retail stores to enrich?

Yes. Upload a CSV of your existing independent retail stores contacts and Origami will fill in missing data - verified emails, direct phone numbers, owner names, and company details. You can also use your existing list to find lookalike companies that match the same profile.

What data sources does Origami use?

Origami aggregates 15+ sources including Google Maps, social company profiles, job postings, tech stack data, state licensing databases, industry directories, review sites, and real-time email and phone verification. The combination gives Origami coverage that no single database can match.

Does Origami include social and email sequencing?

Yes - and it's free on every paid plan. The built-in Sequencer runs multi-step social and email cadences from your own connected accounts. Up to 10 steps per channel, unlimited sends, multi-account rotation, and one shared inbox for replies. No add-on, no per-seat fee, no exporting to Instantly or Smartlead.

How does pricing work?

Usage is spent per step - fetches, research, and enrichments each cost different amounts. Plans start at $99/mo for $165 of usage. Most users find a single list of 50-100 leads costs a few dollars.
