The record that announces it
A new retail store appears in a city or county business licence or tax certificate, filed when the business registers to trade at the address — the first public sign it exists at an address, and it lands before a single supplier has been chosen. It is then confirmed against a live listing, so a filing address never becomes a card. Which office publishes it, state by state.
The same trades also sell to restaurant or cafe (21 of them), medical practice (20 of them) and office (20 of them), so a vendor set up for retail store is usually set up for those too.
