Sioux Falls' Growing Market
Sioux Falls is South Dakota's most economically dynamic city, growing faster than most comparable Great Plains metros. The city's financial services sector — Citibank, Wells Fargo, and several regional financial institutions maintain significant operations here — and the healthcare economy anchored by Sanford Health and Avera Health have created a professional class that is gradually developing more sophisticated pet care expectations.
The Falls Park namesake — the Sioux Falls of the Big Sioux River in downtown — creates the city's most distinctive outdoor feature and one of its finest walking destinations. The Big Sioux River Trail connecting Falls Park to the broader greenway system provides good urban natural walking.
