Organic maps can't find a business that's 15 miles from my location and has been there for years, but it can find another branch that's 90 miles away. Not a useful option.

If you notice things are missing, feel free to contribute to OpenStreetMap. For example, by using StreetComplete. If you add the map details that are missing, it makes the map more useful for everyone.

That'd be something I'd do if this were an occasional issue, but for just this single company OpenStreetMap shows only 4 of the 20+ nationwide locations. I try OpenStreetMap every year or so and still find that it isn't useful for me as it stands.
