From Moving and Storage to Tire Center: The Transformation of East Main Street in Marshall

A major transformation is happening at the intersection of East Main Street and Boyer Drive in Marshall. The former Quist Moving & Storage location, which was a bustling corner of a busy road, is undergoing significant changes.

Todd Quist, from Quist Moving & Storage, confirmed the sale of their East Main Street property in 2023. The business has since relocated to a new spot along Minnesota Highway 23. Quist shared that his family’s moving and storage business, which originated in Pipestone in 1969, has expanded over the years to other locations in Fairmont and Marshall. After more than 30 years at the East Main Street location, the decision to sell was motivated in part by the need for more space. The opportunity to grow at a larger location prompted the sale.

The Marshall Economic Development Authority revealed on social media that the property will soon host a Les Schwab Tire Center. While further details about the construction project were not available at the moment, CenterPointe Development, the company responsible for developing the property, has not yet responded to phone messages regarding the project. Established in Oregon in 1952, Les Schwab Tire Centers specialize in tires, brakes, wheels, alignment, batteries, shocks, and struts. While the closest locations to Marshall are currently in Sioux Falls and Watertown, South Dakota
