The store is called Dicks five and dime, It is on your left going to ward the beautiful branson landing.
It is part of the remains of the old down town,
There is a home cooking restaurant called Farmhouse restaurant,
ON the corner.
While you are down there , try out the new branson landing,
It has some really nice stores, and good restaurants like joes crab shack, garfields, waxy o' sheas irish pub, the white river fish house should be open by hten as well.
Stores like bass pro shop and belks anchor the mall on both ends,
And a fire and water show in the center, It sits on the banks of lake taneycomo......
You can also catch boat tours from the landing as well,
I think they have a christmas light show to.
And in the grand village shopping center there is a wonderful diner called the hard luck diner, It features a wait staff that sings to the room as they work.....
The food is good, and the singers are wonderful, It is a must do in branson. It is located next door to the grand palace theater on 76,
There is also some good shopping in the grand village ,
As far as christmas shows go, Andy williams is known as mr. christmas.
He is located in the moon river theater on 2500 w, 76 country blvd.

They also have a wonderful show called Island fire........
The Polynesian style show will share the history, culture, and traditions of Polynesia and Samoa.

And I like the legends in concert , They are impersonators,
But they are really quite good, and they do all their own singing,

For good food,
Besides the ones I have told you, For barbeque to die for,
try danna's BBQ,
they are located just off of the strip on Highway 165
Past shorty smalls,
And rails catfish on 433 Animal Safari Road , Is is just off of the 76 ,
I will suggest finding a color coded map of branson,
There are colored routes around 76 that help you to avoid traffic,
It can be really bad at certain times, like when shows are getting out.
Avoid the booths around town that offer tickets free or cheap,
they are TIME SHARES, and will bug you to death,
just tell them you are a local, and they will leave you alone.
To save on tickets there is one place to buy discount tickets to some shows, it is called branson 2 for 1 tickets,
They are not a time share and they just give you a voucher and you can trade them at the ticket office at the theaters for tickets.
The office is located across the fire station on 76,
