list must be outside of the NARMS and NAGMR sites. The companies can
specialize in Grocery, Mass Market, Drug, Apparel, or C-Stores.

Thank you for your response. More to the point, I am looking for lists
that include address and company information pertaining to
merchandising service organizations only.  Prism and SPAR are the only
two merchandising companies in the list provided in the answer. The
companies themselves are the focus. Associations are great only if
they provide lists of the companies. If that information is not
available outside of NARMS and NAGMR sites than if there are ranking
lists of merchandise service organizations that specify each company's
size within the industry it would help.

I was not able to find any figures for company size. It seems that
such numbers are not available for the companies above.

I hope that this was helpful for your research.
