Sioux Falls is experiencing a shift in its retail landscape, with Jodi Schwan from SiouxFalls.Business highlighting some upcoming developments. As the area continues to grow, retail trends are changing and new opportunities are emerging. Retail Week at SiouxFalls.Business is exploring the growth of retail concepts and potential new businesses coming to town. Many retailers are approaching expansion cautiously due to factors such as construction costs and consumer behavior.

Currently, there is a focus on convenience stores, car washes, smoke shops, and quick-service restaurants that offer value-driven services. Indoor entertainment and sports centers are also exploring opportunities in available spaces or considering new construction. Keep an eye out for announcements about expanding concepts and other retail updates in the coming weeks.

One area of interest in Sioux Falls is the Empire Place development located just north of the Empire Mall. This development has seen success with big names like Chipotle and Chick-fil-A and is now bringing in more traditional retail options, including the return of Hallmark to Sioux Falls. A new franchisee will be opening a Hallmark store at Empire Place this holiday season. Additionally, Flyboy Donuts is set to open their flagship store at Empire Place by the end of the month.
