Places to Shop

Storm Lake isn’t just a place to shop…it’s a place to explore.

Located in the heart of the city, Lake Avenue is the perfect place to wile away a few hours, browsing through the many locally owned stores. This vibrant, old-fashioned main street provides shoppers with unique, one-of-a-kind shops catering to nearly anything on your list.

The city offers an exceptional mix of locally owned specialty shops as well as larger national chains. Clothing, collectables, and elegant home furnishings can all be found in Storm Lake. The list includes three grocery stores, six car dealerships, three video and game rental stores, and two full-service spas. Stores for the sportsmen, the guitarist, whatever you may need – it’s all right here.

The Wal-Mart Supercenter, Hy-Vee supermarket and the newly constructed Walgreens are all open twenty-four hours for those late night shopping trips.

(If mall shopping is more your bag, Storm Lake is located just a few hours from Des Moines and Omaha – home to some of the biggest and best malls in the Midwest.)  

Fulfilling its promise as one of the area’s top destinations, Storm Lake presents visitors and residents alike an unparalleled shopping experience.
