This place is a definite stopover on your way to Mount Rushmore. Thanks Keef59. Actually you can,t miss it. Every old fire engine ( and there are lots of them )along the freeway from Wisconsin to South Dakota has a "Visit WallDrug " billboard on it,s watertank.

 

I had a gearshift knob that looked like the "Voodoo Head" on the front of the building above the Exide.

 

34gaz, my wife talked me into stopping at Wall Drug. What a waste of time. Only thing she bought was some hard candy. When we got out in the car I turned the bag over and showed her it was made 20 miles from our house in PA. She still gets mad when I bring it up.

I can ....just like my buddy putting snow tires on his Corvette. I have 6 cars and not a one of them live under roof. I'm not exactly poor...nor am I well off enough to house them all either. They will survive some of them already have 50 + years.....
