In the UK this URL is [https://www.openfoodnetwork.org.uk/shops]() ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/9rSox0x4H_A7tlOHbKW19Zq1g1gnLwp5wObbFsMEiuillQ_tA6O-bQS-tER58YSf1O-uzpAzf_ihFPbKSWCoaS8jdjcad_7cA4ctusw42NUBhmZpGnwpgG8lSCUeHEdBjyccMYOK) You can search by **shop name, town, county or postcode.** The ‘**Filter By**’ box enables you to narrow down your search if you are looking for a shop which sells a particular type of item (eg. fruit and veg), one which offers delivery, or one which meets specific criteria in the type of products they stock (eg. vegan, certified organic items). ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/dnm2kRMzJiL6vqv-kmxxzInW7WRW3khGBasMLY3QIXdJle4484Yoqsbhj74AV1zN4KI1qbo4igEFDdKdg03KJHtjxn3uh8RZ0TFdZHdVNjrKvilchQwNZBHvxp8xNAdVhndMarsG) ## Why are orders not open all the time for my shop? Some shops on the Open Food Network will be open cyclically each week or month, like a weekly market which takes orders in advance but offers collection on one day a week/month only. These shops tend to take orders up until a day or two before collection/delivery. The time between the shop ‘closing’ and you being able to collect your items enables the food producers to bake the bread you ordered, harvest the apples, package the eggs etc. If the shop you have heard about from a friend does not appear in your search then it might be closed at the time you are looking. Click on the blue ‘**Show Closed Shops**’ button at the bottom of the page. ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/M2hcTHUJoLgk5HcFao-Q42IhObxOA3E0g3FpTSW9-2e1YISopqIuOmrplJbD34t_V2o0mOkQpB8pKDFs05XMSLnGnA3IOJ9eclimVSf4gEcSPQ8TZwrVqaIRLXOsQlnHQQcUaId0) {% hint style="success" %} When you have found a shop, it is always a good idea to bookmark the URL which will take you directly to the outlet next time. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://guide.openfoodnetwork.org/greek/shopping-with-open-food-network/how-to-find-an-online-food-shop-near-you.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
