“Pierre is a very wholesome, giving community,” said Miranda Panzer , tourism director for the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce . As folks begin shopping for holiday gifts, Panzer encourages trying out some of the shops downtown for a personal and rewarding experience. “Visitors are always looking for something to do, and if they get an opportunity to have a great conversation with a store owner or to purchase something specific to our area, that will be a great memory for them to take home to share with friends and family,” said Panzer. The tourism director helped pick out a few must-stops for 605’s visit to the capital city — some older, some newer, but all that value being a part of the local economy. “Their dedication to our community and the downtown area is greatly appreciated,” shared Panzer.
For clothing and accessories, décor, gifts, jewelry, and more, try The Alley .
Originally opening as The Alley Exchange in 2014, owner April Stromer took over in 2019, but the business relocated several times before moving to 401 S. Pierre Street. “We are huge promoters of all small businesses, especially those located in downtown Pierre.”
