Yelp, Google Maps, Foursquare, and Wanderlogs are all online platforms that provide information about businesses, including clothing stores.

Yelp is a platform that allows users to search for and review businesses, including clothing stores. Users can leave ratings and reviews based on their experiences with the store, and the platform aggregates this data to provide an overall rating for each store.

Google Maps is a mapping service that also provides information on businesses, including clothing stores. Users can search for stores by name or location, and the platform provides information on store hours, contact information, and reviews.

Foursquare is a location-based social media platform that allows users to search for and review businesses, including clothing stores. The platform uses a system of check-ins to allow users to share their experiences with the store and earn rewards.

Wanderlogs is a travel planning platform that provides users with information on things to do and places to visit in various cities around the world. The platform also includes information on businesses, including clothing stores, that users can visit during their travels.

To gather data on clothing stores in Philadelphia, Bala Cynwyd, and King of Prussia, scraping tools were used to extract information from these platforms. These tools can extract data on store names, locations, hours of operation, ratings, and reviews, among other information. By using scraping tools, I gathered a large amount of data on a large number of stores. In this case, the scraping process resulted in over 1000 data points over 360 stores, which was used to gain insights into the clothing store market around Philadelphia.
