Zandbroz Variety has been holding down South Phillips Avenue long enough to become the kind of place Sioux Falls locals recommend before they finish the sentence. It's a gift shop, a bookstore, a toy store, and a collectibles shop sharing the same walls — and somehow none of it feels chaotic.
The shelves run deep: novels and graphic novels sit next to board games and card games, while the gift floor covers candles, home decor, novelty items, and the kind of collectibles that make you reconsider your budget. It's the kind of variety store that actually earns the word variety — you can walk in hunting a birthday present and leave with a shelf game, a paperback, and something you didn't know existed until five minutes ago.
Downtown Sioux Falls has no shortage of shops, but Zandbroz doesn't feel curated for a demographic or dressed up for Instagram — it just stocks good things and lets them speak. No upsell, no agenda, no ambient sales pitch. The mix is genuinely eclectic, and the odds that you leave empty-handed are pretty slim.
