“I needed dog food and was on my way back from Ankeny so I stopped to see if Huxley's. Store had the brand I buy. I was extremely happy to see they had it and it was cheaper than Wal-mart in Ames where I normally buy it but dislike going there because too many people are there running around without masks. Thanks DG for being a great store with great people who took the time to help me find the things I needed.”
“Excellent local community grocery store for high-tier foods and such. Significantly less processed food comes at a price, this is not a Walmart or discount broker.
Friendly staff and great selection”
“I come to this fareway regularly for my groceries and they never disappoint. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful, the sales are truly UNBELIEVABLE and I am always in and out in a timely manner. This specific fareway will continue to have my service for all the reasons named above. Well done to the entire staff and management!”
“A a super guy on 7/30 @ 6pm aprx came to the rescue of myself and my daughter. She spilled her drink and he came and cleaned it up and made us not feel so bad. Great store all in all. I love the small town vibes u get at this fareway. I also go there especially for the produce and meat. Always have. Thank you!”
“Love the setup of this fairway! Nice wide isles. All the shelves stocked & very neat & orderly. Produce is amazing! Just a pleasure to shop in this fareway!”
“Custom cuts, and fresh grind done right.
Prices according w quality.
Also stocks a solid beer/wine selection.
Bonus: they run fun penny-beer promos (e.g., spend $50+ on meat and snag a 6-pack for just $0.01). Perfect combo for a grill night.
Staff are friendly and efficient, so I’m in and out fast.
Pro tip: check the weekly ad and go earlier for the best selection.”

“With grocery prices through the roof elsewhere, aldis still has quality products at pre-pandemic prices. Personally i love that there is less options so i don't have to think too hard about which to grab. Only complaint is that they have automated ordering so when the students leave the fruit and veg sits for a few weeks with replenishment and when the students return things are gone for a while.”
“We moved from Slater in 1986 BUT every chance we get to come back to the area we stop in and buy the dried beef !! Love the meat counter. You can’t beat the quality!!!”

“I visit regularly. Staff is always very nice and welcoming, they have a good selection of most things. They don't have many fresh vegetables, but they have a lot of dried goods, spices, seasonings, sauces, dried noodles, prepackaged food, drinks, and frozen goods. I love the location as it's easy to get what I need while shopping for fresh meat, vegetables, and fruit at the other nearby stores. Another stand out feature is that they regularly get new frozen food like dumplings, bao, and ice cream that I love to try.”

“This place is smaller than some that I've been to but they had EVERYTHING you could want! They had green tea Kit Kats which are hard to find. I was so exited for find kimchi, endless types of dumplings and ramen, plus everything I needed to make pho from scratch! So excited I found this place and get creative with dinners.”
“Nice supermarket, organized, fair prices. But there is only one egg brand, which is Hy-Vee, and it is quite expensive. All the male employees greet you cheerfully and say good morning with a smile. However, all the female employees seem to be angry.”
“Excellent grocery store and a mini restaurant (fresh food items) - family owned and they provide great customer care for everyone - Halal food, PK, IN, Middle Eastern grocery items available (fresh and frozen) - They also offer fresh vegetables on alternative weeks (Okra, Gourds, Eddo roots, Eggplants, Beans etc.) - A must weekly stop for my household and should be yours too … الحمد لله ?”

“I used West Ames Hy-Vee Floral for my wedding, and while the department went through some management changes during my planning process (which was a little stressful at first), the new manager, Sarah, did an amazing job stepping in and communicating with me every step of the way.
The week of my wedding, my assigned florist, Shannon, was in constant communication to make sure my vision was fully captured. She asked all the right questions, confirmed every detail, and executed everything perfectly.
The flowers were absolutely beautiful, exactly what I had hoped for, and truly made my wedding day feel complete. I’m so grateful for the care, professionalism, and dedication from Sarah, Shannon, and the entire team.”

“I switched to this pharmacy after moving nearby. The staff members are friendly and efficient. They use txt message as a way to communicate with customers (for refill and pick up), which works well.”
“I've been very happy with my experiences here! I have had some difficult orders, complications from doctors, or a whole host of other complex problems with getting my medication to the pharmacy, and the pharmacists have been so extremely helpful in making sure I actually receive my meds when I need them. I have used other pharmacies in the past, and I've really enjoyed this one!”
“I stopped at this fareway for the 1st time today. The gentleman at the meat counter was friendly and professional. He even labeled the packaging of my stuffed mushrooms that indicated which side of the packaging was the top. This is helpful so that they remain intact. The staff members that helped me with check out were kind, and bagged my items with thoughtfulness and kept my stuffed mushrooms right side up! It’s the little things sometimes that can make a big difference. I’ll definitely be going there again.”
