    Xara , not really It is a combination of Google Maps API to convert a ZIP or Postcode to Lat/Long, a database of known locations' Lat/Long, code to calculate distances and order from near to far and lots of Ajax calls to the Google Maps API to represent the map centred on your given Postcode with custom Pins to the nearest locations.

    Someone may have done all this heavy lifting already. The one I have just found is https://www.zip-codes.com/free-store-locator.asp, which seems to cover North America. https://www.freemaptools.com/ might be another possible.
    My approach would use Google Maps API to get a location rather than rely on a database of ZIPs or Postcodes, which is costly in time, space and money.
