    You can make use of distanceFromLocation: method of CLLocation.

    distanceFromLocation:

    Returns the distance (in meters) from the receiver’s location to the
    specified location.

    • (CLLocationDistance)distanceFromLocation:(const CLLocation
      *)location

    Parameters

    location

The other location.

    Return Value

    The distance (in meters) between the two locations.
    Discussion

    This method measures the distance between the two locations by tracing
    a line between them that follows the curvature of the Earth. The
    resulting arc is a smooth curve and does not take into account
    specific altitude changes between the two locations.

    Availability

    Available in iOS 3.2 and later.

    By using this method to get the distances of the shops with your current location, you can then sort the list based on the distance to get the nearest branch
