Store locator problems and best practices

Link: Part 1 | Usability and User Experience | Store locator problems and best practices

It’s hard to imagine any company making it more difficult than necessary for customers to shop in their retail stores. Yet this situation occurs on a regular basis; websites often fail to provide highly usable store locators.

(also see Part 2)

It’s ridiculous how often I end up just saying “forget it, I don’t really need to go there” when I either can’t find the store locator or it’s so poorly implemented as to be completely useless for my needs.

Why retailers don’t understand this simple concept is absolutely mind-boggling.
