More Than a Venue — A Space that Gives Back

When you book an event at The Shop DSM, you're doing more than reserving a space, you're supporting local heroes. đź’›

Your celebration, meeting, or gathering helps us give back in meaningful ways.

A portion of our proceeds goes to organizations that serve the firefighter community and families impacted by fire-related hardships.

We’re proud to offer an affordable, welcoming space that brings people together—and we're happy to extend special rates for nonprofits, service members, and first responders.
