I am looking to create a store locator exactly the same as the one found here:
http://www.mgandbw.com/storelocator.asp
I see that this is done with .asp and was wondering if there was another, simpler method I could use? I don't need any zip code entry or maps, just a page to come up after selecting the state that gives you static information.
I am using a mac and dreamweaver cs3.

If you do it in static html you're only making it harder for yourself. You can do it using php and mysql for free, and store all the addresses in the mysql database and run queries with php. That will be the most efficient way, but if you want to use static html this is how.
you'll have to make a page for each state basically contains all the addresses within that state. then at the top of each page you can have a link to each state. If you want a dropdown menu with the states, use javascript to dynamically change the href of your anchor tag when the dropdown is clicked.How to create a store locator on my site?
I agree with Shane. I would choose an interactive programming language or subscribe to a free store locator service such as the one offered at http://www.geosprawl.com
We have used this service for several clients and it's pretty easy to setup and pretty customizable.

It looks nicer, has better pricing, no ads on the free account, and has advanced features like auto-detection of users location...
