For example:

Some of the best shopping in Idaho isn’t found at big, chain stores. Rather, it is found in the small, local shops that seem to be a bit out of the way. That is certainly the case with The Gathering Place, a small Amish Store located in Bonners Ferry in northern Idaho.

Here it is again in the next paragraph:

The Gathering Place is actually a combination of three separate stores: The Bread Basket, Sharon’s Country Store, and the 3-Mile Produce Stand. These stores are all run by the same owners and located under one roof.

You can use the word as a transitive verb: “See whether you can locate Bonners Ferry on a map.”

Here’s a picture of the place. Might be worth the trip.

If you can locate Bonners Ferry on a map…
