1207 25th St, Des Moines“When we don’t have plans on a weekend afternoon or weekday evening, we find a showtime at the Varsity. Love the friendly staff, remodeled auditorium, and the popcorn. My family are “Gold” members, so we get discounts and free popcorn!Due to a medical condition, I sometimes use mobility devices. It is easy to get around at the Varsity because of the new elevator and accessible seating in both theaters.My partner and I have a special place in our hearts for the micro cinema upstairs, The Loft. It’s intimate and cozy.Can’t recommend the Varsity enough!”
“I love this store. So many cute cards and pins and art. My only problem is how expensive it is. I know it's all local, but everything is like 15% more than I'd like. I'd buy the whole damn store if it was just a little cheaper, or if they had deals on things, like a buy-two-get-one or something like that. Beautiful store, I'm just poor.”
9AM - 6PM
2200 E Euclid Ave, Des Moines“Always have a good experience with the folks at the Urbandale Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Been a customer many times in the past, volunteered a few times for local housing builds, Rock the Block, and their Winter Warriors projects. Was just making donating some surplus goods from handyman jobs this time. But Tim the assistant manager was really helpful with a few questions I had about some other jobs I’m doing. Give em a shot. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Love this place. Cheap prices and good stuff! I always find something I need and several things I don't. ?? Staff is great and friendly. They have programs to help the needy and people trying to rebuild their lives. Love that. They believe in 2nd chances and help people get theirs. Keep up the good work!”
“Beautiful hidden gem we found on the internet while shopping for Christmas. Outstanding customer service who went beyond the norm to ensure mom recieved her beautiful earrings. They are stunning in person and reading the back story on the corn used to print the jewlery made it such a unique gift this holiday. Thank you so much for going that extra step. Customer service is beyond 5 stars.”
“One of my favorites! Great treasures for awesome prices. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish the customers would help to keep the store clean and organize. The employees work hard to try to keep up.”

500 Army Post Rd Suite 13, Des Moines“Wonderful program for those of us in need. So thankful. Sincerely, but the person in December-January has been very argumentative and just presents herself as a unfriendly person. Some people are meant to be volunteers and work with people and some aren’t. Kindness counts mama and you don’t know our stories so you shouldn’t treat us like pee-ons.!!”

211 E Court Ave, Des Moines“Got a senior discount on top of bargains. Lower level is huge! Definitely coming back. Mainly stopped because my shoes for a special event broke and I needed a quick fix. 2 blocks from our hotel it was super convenient too.”
“Tectum Roofing just completed my new roof. They did an amazing job. I would recommend them to anyone needing to replace their roof. They were professional, polite, meticulous and thorough., upfront about everything they did. They went over and above the standard. They came up witha prospectus that was perfect for my situation. They even fixed things that the roofers who did my roof last year screwed up. At no extra cost. Can't say enough good things about TECTUM”
“Went to First Friday and saw amazing art and met creative people. I drank Zombie Dust and would totally recommend. It's a monthly event where artists can display their productions.”
