Shopping

A wide assortment of products and services are waiting to be discovered in Prairie du Chien. Shoppers are welcome to browse through a blend of longstanding retailers and newer establishments—all of which are staffed with knowledgeable salespeople in a friendly environment.

Small, locally owned shops are mixed with large developments, such as Riverside Square, Blackhawk Junction Mall, Walmart Super Center, Nathan’s Plaza and Cabela’s, the world’s leading outfitter. Taste the fruits of the land at Shihata’s Orchard, featuring more than 21 apple varieties and a pumpkin patch, and the nearby Eagles Landing Winery in Marquette, Iowa, which offers a flavorful menu of locally produced wines. If you are looking for something special, the Prairie du Chien area has several unique antique and specialty shops. There is truly something for everyone in the Prairie du Chien area.

Downtown Prairie du Chien, nestled along the river, recently completed a major revitalization through the efforts of Prairie du Chien Downtown Revitalization, Inc. (PDRI). Part of the Wisconsin Main Street Program since 2005, downtown Prairie du Chien serves as the community’s central business district and employment center. New streetscapes have been implemented, and more than a dozen businesses, including retailers, restaurants and professional services, have enhanced their facade in some way—helping to make Downtown Prairie du Chien an attractive place to shop and dine. More detailed information on this project is available on page 33.
