The Lake Lorraine area located toward the west side of Sioux Falls has generated some buzz lately because of the new shopping mall stores and other popular locations that are supposed to be opening sometime in 2017. Within the year, Lake Lorraine will be a place for travelers and the people of Sioux Falls alike to eat, work, live, shop and more.

Because of the convenient location near interstate I-29, Lake Lorraine is getting a posh new hotel called Aloft Hotel. This hotel is owned by Marriott, so it will be a nice hotel with several advantages. They will be located within a community that is growing fast and will gain more popularity as Lake Lorraine develops further.

Another important addition to the area, along with The Shores townhouse community, was the Grand Living senior residence that is now open for business. Grand Living is just off of the interstate in the Lake Lorraine community and offers services to the elderly in different situations, such as assisted living, independent living and memory care services, so it hopes to attract a wide variety of residents.

Lake Lorraine will also feature stores such as a new Hobby Lobby, Ross Dress for Less, DSW and Carter’s/OshKosh B’Gosh. The location already has stores such as Mainstream Boutique and Sioux Falls Lighthouse Lighting and Accessories, so the addition of these stores will make Lake Lorraine more versatile and available to the people. After shopping, people can head over to restaurants such as a new Topper’s Pizza and the SandBar Bar and Grill. The area hopes to attract more restaurants to Lake Lorraine as the other shops there get more settled in to Sioux Falls.

Finally, Sioux Falls is now going to house a Carsforsale.com headquarters in the Lake Lorraine community, which will bring several more job opportunities to the city as well as another option for people on the west side of town to utilize when buying cars in the area.

Overall, Sioux Falls is a growing and developing community that deserves to bring in more popular retail stores and places to eat. Conveniently located for travelers, Lake Lorraine has worked long and hard to develop an area that people of all ages can enjoy. Whether it be shopping or living, Lake Lorraine is one of the best up-and-coming communities in Sioux Falls that everyone should check out later in fall 2017.
