Magento 2 Store Locator improves user experience by allowing customers to quickly select a location from a list, displaying the nearest stores or pickup points. This dropdown is created using JavaScript and PHP to dynamically pull store data that integrates it into the Magento front end.

Using Magento’s layout and template structure, developers add a dropdown element, populated with store locations retrieved via API or Magento’s backend configuration. When a user selects a location, JavaScript triggers an update to display relevant store details, such as address, hours, and available services that streamline the path to purchase.
