| It would be extremely helpful to have an option to find stores near me. Specifically
for local pickup, to save on shipping. Is this something you could look at?

This has been brought up on the forum many times. Unfortunately, no, this is
not a feature that BrickLink currently offers. You are, however, free to message
sellers to ask where they are located, and some put their location in their store
terms.

I don't think it would be accepted by LEGO, as it would help to reveal shops
/ people close to your place (while still not having a business activity with
them), which could be a privacy breach.
IMHO.

The other issue is that they would have to pay for access to something like Google
maps or other worldwide mapping software and integrate it into bricklink searches.
A far simpler solution is that sellers that want to can publish their postcode
/ zipcode and offer collection. It's not searchable / filterable but that
might be a good thing anyway. Sellers would surely have to opt in if it was searchable.

I was looking for something similar. My solution: Members section-Sellers-Location.
Then spent an evening going through the list, checking every store and favoriting
all the active ones in my city.
It also showed me what was being sold near by---COMPETITION
And showed me what I might want to focus on/specialize.
