The Oldest Grocery Store in South Dakota: Still Serving After Decades
The "Roaring 20s" were an era of economic growth and lots of cultural change. Prohibition was in full swing and so were speakeasies where people would dance the night away to newly minted jazz songs while drinking "bathtub gin".
In South Dakota, economic growth appeared in Huron with the opening of South Dakota's oldest grocery store. Manolis Grocery Store opened in the 1920s selling grocery staples to grateful town residents.
