Find shops
Search for delis, farm shops, grocers, cafés and more. Use geography and your product to shape the shortlist.
For food and drink brands
Your next stockist
could be around the corner.
Find potential shops, see why they might fit and keep the conversation moving after the first hello.
Find shops is part of the Retail Pack, an add-on to a paid PitchWhip licence.
Getting stocked is still done the hard way.
The trade show alternative. Search independent delis, farm shops, grocers, bakeries and cafes anywhere you sell, and see which ones already carry brands like yours. Find who to contact and get a first message written from your own product. You press send.
Trade shows cost thousands
A stand, travel and samples add up before you have met a single buyer, and the right shops may not walk past.
Walking in cold
You turn up with a box of samples, the owner is out, and you never learn who decides.
Guessing who stocks what
Without a list of shops that already sell brands like yours, every visit and email is a guess.
Two ways in
Find a fresh fit. Or follow a familiar brand.
Find shops that stock other brands
Look for relevant stock evidence on public shop and brand websites. Keep the source beside the suggestion.
What you actually get
From a shortlist to a stockist.
Real PitchWhip screens. The people, companies, numbers and emails in them are invented.
Make the next move easy
How it works.
Step 1: Pick your area
Around a place, a whole town, city or region, an area you draw on the map, along your route, or a whole country.
Step 2: See the shops that fit
Each shop gets a fit score out of 100, with every reason and its source listed.
Step 3: Find who to contact
The shop's email, phone and Instagram from its own website, and the owner's name where a company register lists one.
Step 4: Write and follow up
A first message from your product and wholesale profile, then statuses and follow-ups until the first order.
Everything in the Retail Pack
What you get.
Search by area, your way
Around a place, a whole town or region, freehand on the map, along a route you are already driving, or a whole country. In 64 countries, including the UK, the US, Canada, much of Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Food and drink shop types
Delis, farm shops, independent grocers, health food shops, wine and drinks shops, bakeries, cafes, food halls, butchers, coffee and tea shops, and chocolate and sweet shops.
A fit score with reasons
Every score is out of 100 and shows why: the kind of shop, how busy its street is, what it already stocks, and the places your customers go once you describe them.
Where brands like yours sell
Name the brands that sell to the same customers as you. PitchWhip reads their public stockist pages and shows the shops that carry them but not you yet.
Check what they stock
Read a shop's own website to see the products and brands on its shelves before you pitch.
Write a first message
A short Instagram DM and an email for each shop, written from your product, your wholesale profile and what that shop already stocks. Edit it, copy it, send it yourself.
Wholesale profile and sell sheet
Your products, prices, margin and terms in one place, with a print-ready sell sheet and price list to share with buyers by link.
Follow-ups and progress
Mark each shop emailed, DM'd, called, visited, sample sent, stocked or not interested, with follow-ups so nobody is forgotten.
Saved lists, reports and CSV
Keep shops in lists, print a dated report of where each one stands, and export to CSV on a paid plan.
What it won't do.
PitchWhip never sends a message for you. Every DM and email opens in your own Instagram or mail app and you press send. It can't promise a shop will stock you: it shows you where to look and what to say.
Questions.
Which countries does it cover?
Find shops searches 64 countries, including the UK, the US, Canada, much of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Search around a town, postcode or ZIP code, a whole region, an area you draw, a route or a whole country.
How is fit scored?
Each shop gets a score out of 100. It comes from the kind of shop (delis and farm shops take on new brands most often), how busy its street is and what it already stocks. Describe your customers and the places they go count too. Every point is listed under Why this score, with its source.
Where does the shelf data come from?
From public websites. Check what they stock reads the shop's own website. Where brands like yours sell reads the public stockist pages of brands you choose as similar to yours. Shop listings come from open map data (OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps) and, in the UK, the Food Standards Agency's food hygiene register.
Does it send messages for me?
No. PitchWhip writes a first Instagram DM and email for you to edit. You copy it, open Instagram or your mail app, and press send yourself.
How much does it cost?
Find shops comes with the Retail Pack, an add-on to a paid PitchWhip licence. See the pricing page for today's prices.
Do I need the Chrome extension?
No. Find shops is in the PitchWhip web dashboard, so you only need a browser. The Chrome extension is for prospecting on LinkedIn and is optional.
The Retail Pack is $29 a month per account, added to a paid PitchWhip licence ($49 a seat a month). Prices in US dollars, before VAT or sales tax.
