Foodservice Distributor Location Scraper

Pulls distribution center (DC) location data from the three largest US broadline foodservice distributors: Sysco, Performance Food Service (PFS), and Gordon Food Service (GFS). One run returns ~160 structured records covering the full US footprint of all three chains — addresses, phone numbers, service territories, and contact emails where published.

No account, no proxy, no API key required. All source pages are publicly accessible.

Use Cases

• B2B sales prospecting — build outreach lists for food and beverage brands, packaging suppliers, or equipment vendors targeting distributor buyers
• Distribution network mapping — visualize DC coverage by state and region across the three largest broadline distributors
• Market research — identify white-space markets where coverage is thin or dominated by a single chain
• CRM enrichment — append verified location, phone, and email data to existing distributor records
• Commercial real estate / cold storage — map warehouse and cold storage footprint by geography
• Competitor analysis — compare PFG, Sysco, and GFS facility density in any metro area

---

Pricing

Billed per result record (pay-per-event). A full run of all ~160 locations costs a fraction of a cent. Set maxItems: 10 to test output before committing to a full run.

Limitations

• Email and service area fields are PFS-only. Sysco and GFS do not publish this data on their public location pages.
• Coverage reflects public directories. Some DCs that are not listed on the chains' public websites will not appear.
• Record count varies with source sites. The ~160 total reflects current published directories; chains add/close facilities periodically.
• No login, CAPTCHA solving, or proxy required — all three sites serve location data as standard HTML.
