---- Preferred interaction mode for geographic lookup?

I'm programming a geograpgic look-up that I'm going to use to let users find different things close to them such as widget stores.

Basically a user will enter a zip code and then I'll run a SQL query to find the nearby stores.

My question is should I

A) let the user select a radius (2, 5, 10, 25 miles) and then display all of the stores within that radius, or

B) grab the closest 20 (or some number) stores and then give the user the option to expand the search, or

C) something else
