Hosmer Main Street is home of the Hosmer Clinic, Hosmer City Hall, the Veterinary Clinic, the City Liquor Store, a US Post Office, the Dakota Café, the Hosmer Noodle Factory, L and M Wrecking, Jan Anderson’s Shop, Ron’s Machine, Treichel Insurance, the Hosmer Civic Center, the VFW, Martha’s Store, Isaac’s Building, the Farmer’s State Bank, the DC Station, Malsam Construction, and the Catholic Church.
There is one café and two bars in Hosmer where one can find something to eat, all of which are located on Main Street. The Dakota Café is owned by the city, but is rented to individuals for management.

Although the Dakota Café has gone through quite a few managers throughout its history, it has continually maintained a place for locals and passers-by to congregate and enjoy a good menu for breakfast, dinners, and suppers. Low sales continually apply pressure to managers, and awkward or unknown store hours have traditionally foreshadowed café closings. The Hosmer City Liquor Store serves on and off sale liquor as well as appetizers and menu items. The liquor store is owned and operated by the city of Hosmer. Steak frys, featuring Heier's steaks and from-scratch homemade noodle salad, are held most every Monday night throughout the winter months, and are open to all. The City Liquor Store is also known for their excellent Bloody Marys.[citation needed] The VFW also serves on and off-sale liquor as well as appetizers. The VFW also holds displays of local heroes and Hosmer history alike.
