Our Story

Located in the old Ben Franklin building...

The former 5 and 10 Ben Franklin Retail Store was renovated to form an exciting hub of activity and offer a unique retail and dining experience. With local vendors, cooks and artisans constantly updating and changing the product offerings, a stop at the Market is a must for your shopping/dining experience.

The vision of the Brookings Commercial Kitchen is to actively expand and thoughtfully enhance food-related businesses, experiences, opportunities and activities of the Brookings region by supporting local food entrepreneurs and by recruiting regional and national guest chefs to host one-of-a-kind dining experiences.

In keeping with the 5 and 10 Ben Franklin tradition, you will be greeted with a wide variety of products and food for everyone and maybe even a bit of nostalgia.
