“Bought a pair of jeans from them online. Had some concerns about the fit, and the gentleman talked me through everything in a clear, personable, no b.s. way. Reasonably priced, high quality goods from knowledgeable humans. What more could you want?”
“RAYGUN is a must to stop by whenever I am in Des Moines. I love their stickers, buttons, and shirts, but the staff really make the experience great! This is a great store where you can find awesome gifts for anyone!”
“I am an active, retired leisure person leading a no frills lifestyle. Therefore, I need matching apparel to grab and go when I need to have a look that shines at a reasonable and fabric friendly rate. Active Endeavors has all the up and coming styles for me to feel comfortable and not matronly and at the same time I support vendors like Vuori who uses recycled materials to showcase comfortable clothing. Yet, I wish they had more pastels to brighten my day!”
“I have been a long time customer for about five years and most all my clothes come from Marne. I have slowly phased out fast fashion and throw away clothes and exchanged them for life long, ethical, beautiful garments. I love Angela (the shop owner). At this point she knows me. I have no idea how she keeps everyone straight but she always knows what will fit and what won’t. I am 12-14 regular and I fit in her clothes! I always feel celebrated and cared for. It’s one of those store I feel comfortable coming out of the fitting room and looking in the big mirror.”
“I have been in several
Times over the years but the window caught my attention today w the kids items for Halloween adorable !!!
SUCH CUTE and UNIQUE items !!! Wow ! Books I had never seen. HUGE selection of jelly cats.
Darling Clothing even for boys !!!!!! Good selection of sizing .
Staff was very kind ..it was the first time shopping w a small child and he was a bit overwhelmed by all the amazing Toys IE wanting to grab etc
Their verbiage was really kind to us “please be gentle with the toys we need to sell them to someone !” Vs “stop playing w the merchandise “ or something else that could of been totally mean.
I was impressed by that I’m new at this parenting thing so made me feel good and want to buy more and be more mindful when shopping ..
A jewel Of a store! Check them out !
Shop Local !!! It’s great to see merchandise that is unique and special
They also suggested a great playground near by with good directions. We found it (American legion park) and had a ball after our shopping trip . Thanks !!!”
“Kayla ROCKS! All the people working there had fantastic attitudes, and made me feel so welcome. I had a specific wardrobe issue, and Kayla was ON IT. She cared, and filled my dressing room with GREAT options! She even knew my size better than I did. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Buckle and thank you Kayla!!”
“I recently purchased business shirts and suits from Penache Bespoke, and I’m extremely impressed with their outstanding quality. The fabric feels premium, the tailoring is excellent, and I’m completely satisfied with my purchase.”
“I'm a huge invader zim fan and love to see that stuff here when I go into a Hot Topic. Can't really get it anywhere else but online. I also found a pair of pants that were pretty much made for me the last time we stopped here. Friendly staff, clean store, little pushy with the sign up stuff but they're just trying to help, I guess. ?”
“Stopped in here out of the blue when going to Winn's. Stylish boutique, that's well layed out and has a nice vibe too it, and super friendly staff. Good place to find a gift or two for my mom and aunt for birthday's and Christmas.”
“The family-owned business that offers an international furniture shopping experience. Global inventory includes Handstitched rugs, Sofas, Bed Frames and Mattresses you won't find at Homemakers.”
“Incredibly impressed with my experience throughout the whole process as Stephanie took very good care of me. I would highly recommend Tom James for anyone looking for a top tier custom suit in the Des Moines area that won’t break the bank. Thanks for everything, Stephanie!”

We enjoyed stopping in and while we didn't purchase anything this time we'll be back.There was a nice assortment of women's clothing with complimentary jewelry for sale.I'm a plus size woman and didn't quite find an item that wowed me when I tried some items on. Next time I'm sure I'll have better luck.”

“Always happy with the service I get when I come to Zumiez. Just the other day I went in for an exchange and I got personal assistance looking for what I needed. Very helpful and always friendly, makes my day everytime I go in there.”
“Was looking for original and affordable gifts for the holiday season. I always like to give gifts that are thoughtful and something that a person cant see at one of the big box stores or see someone else owning it. I heard about this boutique and couldn't wait to go see. It didn't dissapoint. The owner greeted me with a smile. This quaint boutique is thoughtfully packed with tons of locally created gems, jewelry, art, food, clothing and more. Its one of the places where you could stand in one spot and just move your head around for several minutes and find so many treasures. Also the creative in me was inspired by so many things. If you are looking for one of kind anniversary, birthday, THANK YOU, thinking of you, just because, or TREAT FOR YOURSELF gift.... XO Studio is a great place to go. You will leave feeling like you paid a fair price and you supported a local artist. ALSO if you know an artist that needs help with marketing, selling and a spot to showcase please check out their website. The owner is a light in this world. I dont know her other than this one encounter but I can tell, you know when you know, that she is someone who lives to serve, teach and help others lights shine!!!!”
“I want their shopping and I did find what I needed but I did talk to wonder the floor girls and she was very very nice in a she told me to call time to time to see if I can get the I am which I wish to buy so it was a great experience I recommend anyone go on there”
“What a cool boutique and mall concept into one! Had a great time shopping here and I love the whole idea of Small Business owners connecting into one mall. Lovely layout of different small businesses. Lots of unique stores and items. I love certain shops and have bought several items several times now. So many Iowa/Iowa State shops, Christian brands, home goods, home made items, candles, clothing, 3D printed items. Always something unique to find. There was one time I purchased an item and didn't know it was broken till I got home. I went back to the store and the manager called the small businesses owner. The owner was very kind to allow a refund. Typically they don't but I was so thankful that this owner really cared about her product and customer. I would highly recommend Painted Tree for unique shopping. I'm looking to go back for a Christmas shopping spree. This place is packed out every week so be prepared for lots of people and a little bit of crowds. And rightfully so, it's such a cool shopping mall and experience!”
“My wife and I were at Old Navy yesterday and the individual that helped us out treated us like we were king and queen with respect he loved his job and he was just totally awesome. Keep up the good work I would buy a lot of clothes there but you guys have too many holes in jeans and I’m not paying that kind of price. Thanks for everything.”
“This was one of the best bookstores I've been to for a school of its size. Had a great selection of clothes AND novelty items. Came home with a nice bobblehead of Griff! The quality of apparel that was offered was pretty top notch. With the exception of maybe larger sizes, there should be no problem finding anything you're looking for or maybe didn't know you were looking for there!”
“I was visiting for the weekend so my friend took me to Valley Junction. We almost didn't go into this store but I'm glad we did! Found some modern styles & ended up purchasing quite a few items. Staff was very nice & accommodating. Worth the stop!”
“Sunny was super helpful! I got an outfit for my interview and she managed to find stuff for my short, petite, curvy, self. Thank you sunny for wishing me luck on my interview ❤️”
