I am working a small project related to fast food industry. I am trying find GIS data for fast food chains like subway, MC Donald's, Arby's, etc in state of Ohio. Basically, I am looking for point location of each facility (for each fast food chain). I know that I could digitize them but that would be painful. Is there a faster way of getting this information? Excel files with the address details will also help.
Answer
Ian Spiro at http://www.fastfoodmaps.com/ scraped these data nationally in 2007. His site has a great interactive map; maybe you can get the data too (or scrape them!). Another place where you can find pubs and restaurants, at this time, is TheWebMiner Geo
