Proctor is also a home for several banks, veterinary offices, and a range of everyday businesses that attracts shoppers from surrounding areas as well as nearby residents.
Proctor also has restaurants serving traditional American fare, such as Knapps. The Northwest Shop (Proctor and North 27th) specializes in Northwest products.
