SNAP Retailer Locator — Find EBT Stores Near You
Search 50,000+ USDA-authorized retailers across all 50 states.
What Is the SNAP Retailer Locator?
The SNAP Retailer Locator is a free search tool — maintained by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) — that helps SNAP recipients find nearby stores authorized to accept SNAP EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) cards. This version is powered by the same underlying dataset used by the official USDA SNAP Retailer Locator, covering more than 267,000 active SNAP-authorized retailers across all 50 states.
In FY 2025, SNAP served an average of 42.4 million people per month — nearly 1 in 8 Americans. Having a reliable, up-to-date SNAP retailer locator is essential for recipients, social workers, food banks, and community organizations.

Types of SNAP-Authorized Retailers in the SNAP Retailer Locator
Any store listed in the SNAP Retailer Locator has been officially approved by the USDA FNS to accept EBT cards. Authorization is not automatic — every retailer must apply and meet USDA eligibility criteria. Not all food stores qualify, which is why checking the locator before making a trip matters.
What Can You Buy with EBT at SNAP Retailer Locator Stores?
Once you find an authorized SNAP retailer using the locator, here is what your EBT card covers — and what it does not:
| EBT-Eligible Food Items | Not Covered by SNAP EBT |
|---|---|
