LET’S SEE HOW FAR WE CAN REACH!

Inspired by Wall Drug

The infamous Wall Drug store in Wall, South Dakota started a trend almost 100 years ago and they didn’t even know it! Looking for an opportunity to draw more customers to their store, they paid to have signs placed along the highway that said  “Get a soda/get a beer/turn next corner/just as near/to Highway 16 and 14/free ice water/ Wall Drug” – .  These signs were placed at various points along Highway 16 and ever since then customers started flocking to their store. Over the years, several people started making their own “miles to Wall Drug signs” and could be seen as far away as Morocco, Amsterdam, and even at base camps during WWII.
