About Us

Welcome to Zen Hills, where local artistry meets unique, meaningful design. Found in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota, at 521 Main Street—directly across from Main Street Square—Zen Hills is a locally owned souvenir and gift shop that celebrates the spirit of the Black Hills.

Born from the idea of creating one-of-a-kind, locally made products, Zen Hills offers a diverse selection of laser-cut, printed, and assembled gifts that capture the beauty and culture of the Black Hills and beyond. Each of our products—whether it's a canvas print, phone holder, tumbler, sticker, magnet, or postcard—is crafted with care right here in our store, making Zen Hills one of the few truly Black Hills-made souvenir shops in the area.

Walking into Zen Hills feels like stepping into a gallery of Black Hills-inspired art. With murals painted throughout the store, unique displays, and creative artistic elements around every corner, we’ve designed our space to be an immersive experience. Our retail space is more than just a place to shop; it's a visual journey that lets you feel the spirit of the Black Hills based art while browsing our wide variety of products.

From the freshly laser cut phone holders and magnets to the stunning art prints, every item we create tells a story—of the area, the locals, and the beauty that make the Black Hills so special. As artists, we’re proud to have a space that’s as unique as the products we make, and we hope it leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve left our doors.

Zen Hills started as a wholesale manufacturer, providing retailers across the United States with products that combined unique art styles and local flair. Over time, our passion for showcasing the beauty of different regions—beyond the Black Hills—led us to create a store where locals and visitors alike could take home more than just a souvenir, but a piece of artistry that connects them to the area.

As Black Hills locals, the co-creators of Zen Hills know how special this area is, and we’ve curated our collection with local landmarks and attractions in mind—like Badlands National Park, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, Deadwood, and more. Whether you're visiting from out of state or you call the Black Hills home, Zen Hills offers a piece of this breathtaking region that you can cherish forever.
