The company providing the service is Where 2 Get It (
http://www.where2getit.com/ ).  They provide maps for store locator
functions for a number of companies.  For example: Moe's Southwest Grill,
Safeway, Trader Joe's, Jo-Ann Fabric, Michael's.  OSM is used for the base
map with the store location placemarks as an overlay.  You can tell that
they are not utilizing the OSM data for the store locations because if you
look closely you can see that their placemarks don't always line up with
the actual locations of the stores in OSM.
