In this episode of “The Yellow & Blue Podcast,” we hit the road to explore the story behind Wall Drug — the legendary roadside stop just eight miles north of Badlands National Park. What began nearly 95 years ago as a small pharmacy has become a world-famous destination known for free ice water, homemade donuts and classic Americana charm. Joining the conversation are Rick Hustead, South Dakota State University alum and chairman of Wall Drug and Sarah Hustead, vice president of the family-run business. We’ll talk about the Hustead family’s vision, the store’s deep South Dakota roots and Wall Drug’s strong ties to SDSU.
