All in One Magento Store Locator Extension
I personally fell in love with Plugin Company's Store Finder extension, which provides a complete solution for presenting your offline stores in your Magento webshop.
Magento Store Finder enables you to easily create unique pages for every store including the store's contact details, opening hours, description, images and optional store comments, allowing your customers to give feedback about your stores. You can now also add custom store attributes to your store pages, which can be optionally used tag filters in the store locator.
The store pages are listed in an easy browsable overview page showing the most important store info and linking to the dedicated store pages.
Most importantly, this Magento extension provides a fully responsive Google Maps based store locator, enabling your customers to quickly find your nearest store. The store locator includes an address auto-complete function and optional automatic geocoding location detection. It automatically sorts your store locations by distance, which can be displayed in miles or kilometers. The store locator includes an optional radius/maximum distance menu and filterable custom store attributes. The customer can directly view the the store details in the interactive map or get directions using the integrated door to door route planner.
Last but not least: with its user-friendly interface the extension is easy to use for both customers as for admin users. With the Store Finder's new CSV import and export functionality you can easily create and update multiple store locations at once!
