Day trips
Cornbread Trading Post
An old-timey mercantile with a warm, nostalgic feel, Cornbread Trading Post is a relaxed gift shop tucked alongside The Blue Rooster on Highway 259.
The store carries personal care items like handmade lotions, lip balms, and bath salts; home goods including candles and spices; novelty apparel; and specialty food items like honey sticks and products from small earth-conscious brands. It’s an easy shop to browse without a specific goal, and most visitors walk out with at least one unexpected find.
The shop is frequently visited by people waiting for a table at nearby restaurants, making it a natural pit stop. Hours can vary, so stop by opportunistically. No dedicated website.
Pruett’s Food
The most complete full-service grocery store in Broken Bow, Pruett’s is an independently owned local market with a full-service deli, fresh bakery, and butcher counter.

The most festive stop in The Yard Under the Pines, Sasquatch’s Candy Den carries over 750 types of candy in a Bigfoot-themed shop that commits fully to the local folklore.
Hochatime
More than a souvenir shop, Hochatime is a lifestyle brand rooted in the outdoor culture of Hochatown and the go-to store for apparel that marks you as a regular.
