Description

I want to ensure my database of businesses locations is as current and complete as possible.

We require a solution to scrape a selection "store locators" on a variety of defined websites (about 100) to compile neat lists of store locations. My preference would be to have a program that I can upload a list of URL's to, run once, and get an output of data. I would also prefer to have the flexibility to add more "store locators" to my target list in future and be able to reliably scrape those sites too.

I need it to work on my Mac.

Output data:
I require a fairly tidy excel or csv output from the scraping activity with the following fields populated (where that data is available):

1/ source site URL (input by me)
2/ business name
3/ phone number
4/ fax number
5/ address 1
6/ address 2
7/ city
8/ province
9/ post code
10/ email address
11/ toll free number

Source locations:
Many of these arrange their data in different ways. Here are 5 different examples of "store locators" that the solution would need to target:

http://www.archambault.ca/qmi/staticpages/ACH/magasins.jsp
http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/locator/
http://www.tacobell.com/ (the locator is in the bottom right corner)
http://www.myhusky.ca/station_locator.html
https://quikorder.pizzahut.com/pizzahutcanada2/store_locator_ca.php


PLEASE NOTE !!!
---------------------
I'll award the project based on:
1/ understanding of my requirements
2/ price and speed
3/ a solution that makes the process dead-simple for me to achieve my objectives described in the first paragraph
---------------------

thanks!
