In order to display that location you need to geocode it. Note that
the "TOPS MARKET #041 C" is not part of the address and could confuse
a geocoder.
from the "Articles" section of the v3 API documentation:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/geocodestrat.html

If you only want to show one at a time, you could use google maps. If
you need to use the business name in your search, you will need to
investigate the Places API.
