Appendix 11.xlsx

This is a retailer and chain information database compiled for the South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL) computer gaming system and services contract. The file, designated as Appendix 11.xlsx, contains comprehensive data on 1,000+ retail locations across South Carolina authorized to sell lottery products and services. The spreadsheet documents retailer identification numbers, business names, addresses, counties, zip codes, operational status (active, terminated, revoked, denied, or conditional), number of terminals per location, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, business types (convenience stores with gas, grocery/food stores, liquor retailers, service businesses, and merchandise stores), retailer classification (independent or chain subordinate), corporate affiliation status, and chain identifiers for multi-location operators. The database supports the lottery's operational requirement to manage retail locations across 4,032 authorized retailers statewide, with entries tracking status changes and chain relationships essential for system administration, settlement reporting, and retailer performance analytics.

The retailer database reflects active lottery operations across multiple business classifications, with the majority of locations classified as convenience stores with gas stations (SIC 3318) and grocery/food stores (SIC 6545), though smaller segments include liquor retailers, service businesses, and specialty retailers. Retailers are categorized as either independent operators or chain subordinates, with chain identification for retailers sharing the same tax identification number, enabling the system to automatically differentiate between chain retailers (2-4 locations) and corporate retailers (5 or more locations). The database includes entries for major regional and national chains such as Circle K Stores Inc, Food Lion LLC, Publix Super Markets Inc, The Spinx Company LLC, and Kroger Company, as well as numerous independent operators. Terminal distribution extends to 24 non-retailer locations operated by SCEL across Richland, Greenville, Berkeley, and Charleston counties, supporting claims centers, data centers, promotional facilities, and draw operations necessary for the lottery's $2.46 billion in annual sales volume processed during the May 2025 to May 2026 period.
