“It was a great time shopping on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving! We got the 50% candy cane and enjoyed spending our money in the store! I obviously didnt spend enough because I then bought more online during the weekend! Probably a good thing I dont live close to Ankeny!?”
“Adam was so extremely helpful and professional. Last year my husband and I stopped in the shop while we were driving through Des Moines. Later, I was trying to come up with gift ideas for my husband and recalled they do custom leather work. Adam provided a 10/10 experience and made the vision for the wallet come to life all via email. He checked in with me throughout the process to ensure they were on the right track and it truly came out beautiful. Thank you!”
“This store is beautiful! The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Extremely fair prices and honestly so much better than Amazon or a big box retail store. So many awesome items here and I’m very excited to have a store to buy my wife ‘just because’ gifts. Check it out!”
“This was my first visit to AE and I'm sad I hadn't visited prior to today! Their selection is incredible and they truly have everything that you are looking for. I needed to refresh my winter coat options and found many options worth considering here - as well as cute sweaters to get me through the rest of winter. Morgan helped me find the best options and her knowledge on every product she showed me was incredible and so helpful! The store was clean and organized and the employees did a really great job of being present with every person in the store. I will be back!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jodey and her lovely boutique. We traveled from NC to Iowa for a wedding. 4 hours before the wedding, I realized the dress I had packed was ruined. The boutique was in the hotel that we were staying. I quickly ran down stairs, through her doors and said “help”! She pulled me a full outfit together. You can’t believe how many compliments I had at the wedding we attended. Hat, boots and a gorgeous dress. I’ll be a new customer online! Thank you for saving the day! You’re a doll!!”

“MR. Jackson Robert helped me gain my financial freedom, and I can't thank him enough for his assistance and guidance. I lost so much money trading alone until met Mr. Jackson. He is a very trusted and reliable Forex/Crypto trader that has good trading signals and strategies that can help you win whenever you trade. I invested $500 with MR. JACKSON and to my greatest surprise, I made a whopping sum of $6,100 within a week. Now, I'm earning a good amount of profit on a weekly b”
“This place is absolutely awesome! Stickers, shirts, soaps, socks, more things that start with S! So many fun and cool prints. I got my Sister-in-law a shirt as she’s a music teacher… never thought I would find one for music teachers! If you have a little time to kill, Raygun is a must!”
“My first time in this store wasn't anything extraordinary. However, my second time in the store was a completely different situation. Savanna and Marcus were beyond helpful and went above and beyond to make sure that I left the store fully satisfied. They are amazing humans and I would definitely come back, not just for the wonderful products and deals that they offer but for the welcoming environment. Check this place out if you like to garden!”
“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 live 4 hours away and LOVE to order from Cindy's. In my part of the state, I know I'm wearing a fun style and unique look that only can be found at Cindy's.Colorful, creative, exciting styles!Love this place!If you stop by the store, expect to get caught up in the fun! They love to tell you what looks great in you and what you need to avoid. Truly wonderful staff and Cindy is a hoot!”

“I had my granddaughter in to pick out something for her bday next Sat. She found 2 things so one is for Christmas. The denim jacket with white sweater sleeves she chose for now and the sweater for Christmas. You were so helpful and she loved the shop.”
“Tami is such a sweet, kind and passionate person. Absolutely love the styles she selects for her boutique. Anytime I buy something from this boutique, I get compliments on it and who doesn’t love a compliment! I also love how honest and transparent Tami and her staff are in helping me find the best items that fit my style and body type. I never feel like they are trying to “sell” me something. I trust them to help me look (& feel) my best!”

“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 !!!”
“Let me just start with saying CJ has been MORE than helpful every single time we come to this location. I have never had someone so respectful, mindful, helpful & caring in retail whether it is 4 hours or 4 minutes to close.
In no way have I ever had someone go so out of their way to find different sizes for my hot topic loving 9 year old. He deserves a raise & all of the recognition in the world - if he has not yet been named employee of the year he very much should be!!
I cannot express my gratitude, always looking out for us for deals, coupons & recommendations. I could keep going on & on & it still wouldn't be enough. Thank you CJ for being so incredible, you ARE our FAVORITE. You not only always make our visit unforgettable, but it’s one-of-a-kind and wouldn’t be the same if you weren’t there!
Thanks for being you,
Your biggest fans
Xoxo

“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.”
“Came from out town with wife professional, owner who loves honoring his father legacy through this fashion design business. Will order more from him later this year.”
“I was BLOWN AWAY by the customer service here! The ladies working 8/18/23 saw I was carrying clothes to try on, politely came to me and took the clothes so I wasn’t carrying them around, and reserved me a dressing room. With perfect timing, they asked if they could grab me any other sizes. The other stores I visited before don’t even compete with how I was treated here. I will be returning simply because of how observant and attentive the ladies working are! Thank you Mainstream Boutique for making me feel so special!❤️”
“I had such a blast looking through the racks here and found some incredible deals on designer clothes that I usually see for way higher prices. The store was really well-organized, so even though there were a lot of items to look at, it didn't feel overwhelming to find my size in the jeans and jackets section. I ended up finding a pair of high-quality boots and a really soft sweater that I know I will wear all the time. The checkout line moved surprisingly fast for a busy Saturday, and the staff was very polite and wrapped everything up carefully. It is definitely my favorite spot to go when I want to update my wardrobe without spending a fortune.”

“I was looking to buy a unique gift for a friend and walked out with a bag of fun items I am sure she is going to love. They have a little bit of everything there. I adored all the baby onesies!”
“Preservation has been one of my favorite small businesses since opening day nearly a decade ago. Iconic, and inspirational in brand offering, styling, friendliness and innovation (their newer alterations program and wearable collaborations are always cool). Thanks to Nicole for bringing in flattering, forward-thinking brands to the area!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Sassy’s has always been a favorite of mine, but my friend from Chicago was visiting and we spent an hour or more shopping and buying. Chris helped us add accessories to our chosen clothes and we felt as though she was shopping with us! Fun experience!!”
“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!!”
“Kerstyn answered all my questions, but even though I didn't buy anything, she was very friendly with her response. Be sure to let her know that she knows how to relate to people .”
“the colors, the style, the friendly faces- wow this experience was great!! my mom and i came in looking around for jeans and sweatshirts, the ladies were very helpful but not pushy. very kind and great!! also the clothing items are just the cutest!!”
“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!!!!”
“Best store in Des Moines I am seriously obsessed with this place owner is fantastic about picking items to fit your needs!! Won’t go anywhere else 3/4 of no my wardrobe is from here”
“We placed an order for embroidered jackets for our business and The Vinyl Studio knocked it out of the park! Everyone there was very responsive, they got our order done quickly, and the jackets turned out great.”
“Excellent Walgreens! The store was clean, well organized, and easy to shop. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made checkout quick and simple. They had everything I needed in stock, and the pharmacy team was professional and efficient. I’ll definitely keep coming back.”
