Welcome to the world famous Wall Drug store in South Dakota.
There are signs along the highways for hundreds of miles advertising free water and 25 cent coffee at Wall Drug. We even saw a sign in the middle of nowhere over 1000 miles away. I think regular people put up the signs for fun. Supposedly, there are signs in many countries around the world.
The story begins with a failing drug store in a small town. The owner’s wife came up with the idea to offer free ice water. The owner and his sin made signs and left to put them along the highway. By the time they got back home, thirsty travelers were already stopping for the free ice water. This later expanded to include 25 cent coffee. They still offer both today.
Wall, South Dakota is a short distance from the north side of Badlands National Park. Wall Drug now consists of several city blocks. They even have a parking area dedicated to about 25 or 30 RVs.
This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.
