Dillard's at the Empire Mall is the anchor store that still earns the title. While retail trends come and go, this department store continues to draw Sioux Falls shoppers who want name brands, a real fitting room, and someone on the floor who can actually help.
They stock clothing for men, women, and children alongside shoes, handbags, home goods, and cosmetics — carrying mid-to-luxury national brands under one roof. Whether you're outfitting a wedding party, refreshing a wardrobe, or just hunting down a specific fragrance counter, this is where Sioux Falls residents tend to land when the stakes feel a little higher than a fast-fashion grab.
The draw isn't mystery — it's consistency. Dillard's carries lines that don't show up elsewhere locally, and the store layout rewards browsing without the chaos of a big-box format. Seasonal sales here are the real thing, not a markdown mirage. When residents want to shop in-person and walk out with something that holds up, this is the address they default to.
