In 1988, brothers Jeff and Greg Danz had a dream to open a store that they would want to shop. So they bought an empty turn of the century building in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 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, ND. 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 – 35 years later and we are still here!
Zandbroz is built on creativity and the belief that retail should indulge all the senses. We’re sustained by curiosity and community. We endure as we evolve. We don’t cater to the masses or give too much credit to the latest trends. Instead, we empower individuality and embrace what could be.
Our customers are as unique in their talents and passions as they are aligned in their values. They’re open-minded and adventurous and committed to quality, authenticity, and possibility. They’re not afraid to take up space, explore new ideas, or seek unconventional beauty. They give more than they get and aren’t defined by what they have, but instead by all they pursue. Zandbroz is their escape from the mundane and is a reviving dose of inspiration. Each visit is a brush with wonder and a reminder of how when history merges with insatiable curiosity, there’s always a new world to discover.
At Zandbroz we champion the entrepreneurial spirit and command commitment to diversity and equality. We strive to be a constant evolution that’s grounded in our values. We seek to foster connection, curate with the human-touch, and refuse to ever settle.
