Powerful Filtering Options

Finding the right opportunities requires more than just browsing. That is why we built advanced filtering tools directly into the map interface.

Filter by Recency

Want to see the freshest leads? Use the recency filter to display only businesses that closed within the last 3 months. These recently vacant properties often represent the best opportunities before they hit the broader market.

Filter to see places closed in the last 3 months and get ahead of the competition.

Filter by Business Name

Looking for specific chains or franchise locations? Use the text filter to show only permanently closed places matching a certain name. For example, you can filter to see all permanently closed McDonald's locations across the US and Canada.

This is particularly useful for tracking competitor closures, identifying franchise distress patterns, or finding specific property types with known layouts and infrastructure.
