Everyone knows and loves South Dakota's iconic Wall Drug... but did you know that this famous store isn't actually the oldest in the Mount Rushmore State? The title for that in fact goes to this grocery store, which is still thriving today:
Huron, South Dakota is known for being the home of the "World's Largest Pheasant," but...
Let's be real here for a second: thrifting and/or bargain hunting is an art form. Truly, it takes a special kind of tenacity to get out and drive to multiple thrift shops and/or flea markets to explore over and over again, and lucky for us, there's one little place in particular where that thrifty itch definitely gets scratched. If you're like me, you might just be on the search for the biggest flea market in South Dakota - and I don't blame you. Luckily for us all, I'm pretty sure I found it. Thrift shopping in South Dakota has never been better than it is at this gigantic market, which is something all its own.

With more than 1,000 amazing vendors, you can spend countless hours getting lost in here.
And best of all, it's a flea market - sure - but it's not your nana's flea market. Nope, Four Seasons is wonderfully modern and comes with a special organization to the clutter that sets it apart from other spots similar to it.
When I say there's a few things for everyone around here, I mean it - you just never know what you'll find.
A lot of it is traditional flea market wares - think trinkets and antiques - but the rest of it is a flea market for the 21st century, offering delights like spices, new furniture, home decor, holiday decor, and lots more.
There's a surprise around every corner, so be ready.
Every time you visit, things will be somehow totally different and yet all the comforting same. It's got all the feels of a typical flea market but with a little touch all its own that really makes it one-of-a-kind.

It's one of the best little spots to shop for the house, if you ask me - the uniqueness of your finds will be off the charts!
Sure, you'll find some old-school stuff and antiques, but what I really love about this place is the sheer amount of everything you'll discover. Want decor? There's lots. Need stuff for the kitchen? Good luck picking from everything!
My favorite thing about this not-so-little market is more than just the sheer size of it (1,000 vendors is a lot... seriously) but the seemingly never-ending flow of awesome new finds you'll score each and every time you come in.
Even rock and mineral lovers will find plenty to take home - it's a whole experience!

Thanks to free two-day shipping, technology, and chain stores on nearly every corner, shopping in the 21st century has never been easier. While getting what you want is more convenient than ever, the experience lacks the friendly touch that came along with shopping at old-time stores. Do you miss those days of heading on down to the neighborhood general store? Fortunately, you can still find that welcoming and hospitable experience right here in SoDak, via places like the old Hoover Store in Hoover, South Dakota.

The Hoover Store is known as the "most awesome little country store 3 miles to nowhere!" You'll find anything and everything in this general store in Hoover, SD.
Nestled away in Butte County, the oldest general store in South Dakota can be found in the unincorporated town that shares its name. Unfortunately, Hoover, South Dakota has seen a huge decline in population over the years and is now deemed a ghost town.
However, unlike most other ghost towns, Hoover still boasts its original general store, which was first opened in 1902 and was later acquired in a land sale in the 1970s.
When you visit today, you will find not only groceries but an assortment of other goodies as well. This includes jewelry, apparel, unique gifts, and more. It's got everything you'd expect to find at a "general store near me," with a side of history.
