I visited Lynn's Dakotamart in Black Hawk, SD during my most recent trip to South Dakota in May 2025. While not a large store, it has just about everything you might need in a pinch while not cluttering the store with the extras you don't or won't need.
During my visit to this store, I found the staff to be friendly, outgoing and most importantly, helpful. Those characteristics proved to be a far cry from the lack of communication skills I found in the two vastly larger supermarket chains that operate in the Rapid City area of the Black Hills - namely SAFEWAY and FAMILY FARE.
Another nice aspect of shopping in Lynne's DAKOTAMART is the fact that their relative store sizes mean they are almost never overcrowded and therefore, you won't wait on long cashier lines. This proves another reason why on my next visit and when I move to the Black Hills region in 2026, I plan to start shopping regularly at these stores. read more
