A department store is one of the most convenient places around – you can find just about everything you want or need under one roof! But today, it seems like the department store space has been taken over by the biggest chains. They’re missing that personal charm we remember growing up, that’s for sure! Fortunately, one Iowa department store still does things a little differently. Dralle’s, in Greene, is housed in a two-story brick building that was built over a hundred years ago. Still family-owned after all these years, the department store occupies its entire block and prides itself on delivering reasonable prices and a wide variety of products.

Everything about Dralle's Department Store is on another level - including the two-story brick building!
