Marshall's East Main Street Update: New Les Schwab Tire Center Coming Soon

Big changes are happening at the corner of East Main Street and Boyer Drive in Marshall!

Excavation is underway at the former Quist Moving & Storage site, soon to be home to a new Les Schwab Tire Center.

After over 30 years, Quist Moving & Storage sold the property in 2023 to expand to a larger location on Highway 23.

Les Schwab, known for quality tires and automotive services, is bringing their expertise closer to Marshall residents, with the nearest locations currently in Sioux Falls and Watertown, South Dakota.
