Zandbroz

In 1988, brothers Jeff and Greg Danz had a dream to open a store where they would want to shop. So they bought an empty turn-of-the-century building in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls.

They spent a year restoring the building and developing the concept for what would become Zandbroz Variety. When the doors opened in May of 1989, Zandbroz was a bookstore with an eclectic mix of other inventory, an old-fashioned soda fountain, and a coffee bar. The store was embraced by the community and a couple of years later a second location was opened in the heart of downtown Fargo.

Zandbroz Variety started in a world before Barnes and Noble, Starbucks, and internet shopping were part of the landscape. That of course all changed and so too Zandbroz has evolved and changed – years later and they're still here!
