Wall is a small town in Pennington County, South Dakota. Covering just 2 sq mi (5.3 sq km), it has a population of around 800 only (2011 estimate). The town founded in 1908 has one rather unexpected tourist attraction: its local drug store. Wall Drug Store (or simply Wall Drug), founded in 1931 as a small pharmacy, has since grown into a shopping mall where visitors can buy everything under one roof. It also has a restaurant and gift shop, all under a single operator.
