The Martilla-Pettingel and Gorder General Merchandise Store is a historic store located at 515-516 Main St. in Frederick, South Dakota. Built in 1906, the store was originally run by Finnish immigrant August Martilla, Norwegian immigrant Paul Groder, and E. G. Pettingel. The store, which sold drugs, hardware, and general goods, closed a few years after it opened. In 1918, four Finnish immigrants opened a new store in the building, the Co-Operative Mercantile Store. Cooperative businesses were popular among Finnish immigrants, as agricultural work in Finland was frequently shared as well.
The store was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1985.
