Newly-named Dakota Plains Cooperative building c-store, offices in McLaughlin
The new $2.2 million Dakota Plains Cooperative convenience store and office building is going up just south of the current c-store/offices in McLaughlin. Once the company has transferred to its new space early this summer, the old store will be demolished. The cooperative was founded in 1945 and the current store/ offices was built in 1950.

A new name isn’t the only thing the Dakota Plains Cooperative, formerly known as Farmers Union Oil Company of McLaughlin, is changing about its business operations in McLaughlin.
Construction is underway just south of the company’s existing C-store on a new 6,000 square-foot building that will house a large new convenience store, an expanded deli and grocery selection, and business offices.
