SNAP Retailer Store Types
USDA classifies every SNAP-authorized retailer into one of the 8 store types below. The nationwide totals are copied from the SNAP retailer directory; the state counts are counted from the store-type pills on each state's own page on this site. Those pages are built from the USDA FNS SNAP Retailer Locator.
