G & J Munro had premises throughout Stoke-on-Trent, as well as in other northern England towns. The main premises in Stoke-on-Trent were in Hanley, which opened around 1866. According to Trade Directory entries, they were located on Market Street and New Street, occupying a corner plot. This 1880 map shows the two streets:

Market Street is now known as Huntbach Street, and New Street is now Goodson Street, although it has been curtailed and no longer joins Huntbach Street.
