The other day, I was browsing gordini.com, a really cool WordPress site built by my former employer, Union Street Media. I was intrigued by the store locator and wondered about how I would solve that problem if I were tasked with it. As programming teasers tend to go with me, I got carried away with it. One thing led to another, and now I’d like to introduce you to Store Directory, a new WordPress plugin for keeping a database of stores/locations, which includes the ability to search for locations by radius.

Store Directory is both dead simple and extremely flexible. Find it in the WordPress.org plugin repository, along with thorough documentation.

This will be in the WordPress Plugin Repository as soon as it’s approved!
