How Market Arrivals works
Stages
| Stage | What it means | The date we show |
|---|---|---|
| Applied | A business applied for a license and the state is deciding: Applied, Under review, Approved or Being reconsidered (the state turned it down and was asked to look again). One already licensed here under its name by a different company is marked Same name, new company, and one applying again after its own license here ended is marked Licensed here before. | The day the application was received, or the day we saw its status change |
| Temporary permit | Selling on a temporary permit while the state still decides the application. | The first temporary permit's date |
| New license | The company's first license at this address, issued in the last six months. One whose name was already licensed here by a different company is marked Same name, new company. | The day the license was first issued |
| Existing | Licensed here more than six months. A business applying to add beer, wine or spirits stays here, marked License upgrade. | None, or the day it applied to add to its license |
| Closed | The license ended. Hidden unless you turn on Show closed businesses. | The day the license ended |
A license doesn't prove a place is open, so we show licensing dates and opening signals, like a health permit awaiting its first inspection, separately.

Questions
Isn't liquor license data free?
Yes. The New York State Liquor Authority, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco publish it, and you can search it yourself. We read their lists every morning (534,299 records), group them by business, work out where each one is in the process, put it on a map with your territory, and add contacts from public records and business listings.
How fresh is it?
We read each state's license lists every morning. This morning's update finished at 8:09 am. NYC health permits refresh daily, NY State health permits weekly, business listings monthly.
Does every prospect have a phone number?
No. New businesses have the thinnest public footprint: 51% of new prospects in New York, Texas, California, Pennsylvania and Florida have a phone, email or website. Every record has its address and license dates, and contacts appear when a public source lists them.
Which areas do you cover?
Every county in New York, Texas, California, Pennsylvania and Florida: every business that has applied for or holds a liquor license there. 48% of New York's new filings are outside New York City.
What happens after 14 days?
Your card is charged $49 when your 14-day trial ends (checkout shows the exact time), and the plan renews monthly until you cancel. Cancel in Account before then and you pay nothing. You'll get a reminder email 7 days before the first charge.
Can I get it into my CRM?
Yes. Export any search or list as a spreadsheet, with each contact's source in its own column.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It's built for the phone first: tap to call, directions, and a map around you.
