Filly Flair fans will have to go a little outside Sioux Falls to shop the boutique in person.

Owner Laura Benson announced she’s closing the store at 57th Street and Louise Avenue and will locate her retail operation north of Sioux Falls, where she’s also completing a 20,000-square-foot warehouse.

The plan is to open the new store in late October.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to have a destination store,” Benson said in an announcement on social media. “So adding it to my warehouse is going to be really awesome because I will actually be here and be able to be part of the store.”

The new store design will be inspired by Benson’s childhood growing up on a farm, she said.

All merchandise at the Sioux Falls store will be 15 percent off today through Sunday. The last day will be Sept. 29.

“We will miss being in Sioux Falls. We’ll miss the convenience of it. But I’m really excited to be able to offer a true unique shopping experience … and something I’ll get to be more a part of.”

The new store is being built off the Renner-Crooks exit on Interstate 29 and will include a larger selection of inventory, including items not available on Filly Flair’s popular website.
