Is it illegal to post information on items like prices, location, etc... on the internet?

Say there were 10 burger places in my local area and I wanted to post their prices for a new startup website (yes, I know such sites exist). Is it legal for me to post them? If I'm violating any laws, what specific laws am I violating, how do some sites can legally provide such information, do I have to get approval from each company? If you can provide a link on the website that specifically points out the laws that apply for this matter, that would be great.Is it illegal to post information on items like prices, location, etc... on the internet?
If it was illegal then how would the sites exist already? A better example is sites that post rather up to the minute Gas Prices locally. They tell you multiple stations in the area and what the price is at each of them. Burger prices don't really change from day to day, so yeah you can just post the place's menu and be good for about a year.Is it illegal to post information on items like prices, location, etc... on the internet?
not necessarily. you would just have to give them credit for it.
