3. 2012 Chain Restaurant Report:
A Sampler of Chain Store Guide Data
In 1933, The List of Restaurant Chains was published by Chain Store Publishing Corporation. This six-page direc-
tory with the names and addresses of several hundred companies was the predecessor to Chain Store Guide’s Data-
base of Chain Restaurant Operators which in 2012 includes information for more than 7,000 companies.
Over the years, in response to customer requests and the evolution of the restaurant industry, data available from
Chain Store Guide has developed from a simple address to full contact information (address, phone, fax, homepage,
email), personnel names and titles (more than 37,000 at last count), concept names, types of menu and foodservice,
trading areas, primary wholesalers, and much more.
To demonstrate the wealth of data that is available to our customers and to showcase some of the historic changes
that have occurred in the industry over the years, Chain Store Guide is pleased to present its first Data Sampler.
Please scan below and let us know if you’d like additional information about our array of databases.
