How It Works
Preopening Restaurants Resource gives restaurant solution providers, food & beverage vendors, and other restaurant suppliers a powerful competitive edge by providing early access to preopening restaurant leads — often months before the doors open.
This subscription-based service delivers twice-weekly email reports, each containing password-protected PDFs with in-depth profiles of restaurants that are:
- Under construction
- Preparing to open
- Undergoing ownership changes
Subscribers can customize their access by selecting specific regional markets or opting for nationwide coverage, ensuring they receive the most relevant and actionable leads to support their sales and marketing goals. Whether targeting local or national accounts, there’s a report tailored for every sales region — spanning 42 trade areas across the continental United States.
In addition, subscribers can gain access to a current and accurate database of up to 350,000 existing restaurants nationwide. The database includes more than 150,000 verified contacts and over 90,000 unique email addresses—making it the most up-to-date and reliable resource in the industry. More than 20,000 records are checked daily to ensure accuracy and open status.

Each lead is meticulously researched and verified by an expert team, who spend hundreds of hours each month manually combing through:
- Developer announcements

This ensures that every lead is not only early but also accurate, actionable, and up to date.
