“Fleet Farm is a large, multi-purpose retail store that offers a wide range of products including farm supplies, tools, hardware, outdoor equipment, automotive items, clothing, home goods, and seasonal products. Overall, it provides a practical and convenient shopping experience, especially for customers who prefer having many different categories under one roof rather than visiting multiple specialized stores.
One of the strongest aspects of Fleet Farm is its impressive product variety. The store is particularly useful for homeowners, farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, and DIY customers because it carries everything from basic household essentials to heavy-duty equipment. Whether you need tools for home improvement, supplies for farming and gardening, fishing and hunting gear, or automotive maintenance products, Fleet Farm generally has a reliable selection available. This wide inventory makes it a convenient one-stop shopping destination.
Another positive feature is the store layout and organization. While the store is large and can feel overwhelming at first, the sections are generally grouped logically, making it possible to locate most items without too much difficulty once you become familiar with the layout. Seasonal sections are also well-stocked and frequently updated, especially during peak times like summer outdoor season or winter equipment needs.
Customer service is typically friendly and helpful, with staff members who are generally knowledgeable about hardware, tools, and outdoor equipment. In departments like automotive, sporting goods, and farm supply, employees are often able to provide useful advice and product recommendations, which adds value for customers who may not be fully familiar with certain items.”

“Great experience today. Took my puppy. The manager was warm and welcoming. The manager went above and beyond. She was wonderful at customer service and my puppy. My puppy loves the store but got too excited. The staff was very helpful. Again the manager was amazing. She is a great person.”
“I came around christmas time and Ian was very helpful and kind. He helped me find presents for my family and pointed out a HIDEOUS shirt that I ended up getting for my grandma and she loved it! I told her Ian from Kohls picked it out. Thank you Ian from Kohls!!”
“A great place to get nearly anything you could need for the farm. The staff is friendly and the store is well stocked. They struggle bit with getting people through the checkout lines and sometimes the staff at checkout is pretty limited, so I just try to make sure I’m not in a hurry when I stop in. Other than that, it’s a great place to get things that are hard to find in other stores because they have a pretty big inventory.”
“Came in just expecting to get a tire patched and Frank offered to do more for my car like a rotation and balance! I love that he went above and beyond for me as a customer at ankeny fleet farm! Will return to store to see his face knowing I’m cared about as a customer! Thank you Frank!”
“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.”

“Love this store. Can find all your outdoor gear you need here. Especially for winter. They have great prices. Much lower costs than in product websites. I bought a Timberland coat for 25 dollars. Costs that much at a thrift store.”
“First things first. Called the store to see if they were dog friendly and to my surprise they are! Took my four legged fur baby inside to cool down and chill.
Originally came here to find camping clothes for my kiddo. They had a lot to choose from.
Also had a visiting manger in the Automotive department help us find a new key fob.
Everyone that day went above and beyond for us.
Thank you for being dog friendly and your employees being helpful & friendly!”
“I had a good expeirence at Kohls in Ankeny this week. The store was very busy and the check out lane was long. Two different
sales people helped me find what I was looking for. The check out lady spent extra time with me to save me money.”

“I like this store but limit my visits to a couple a year unless I’m looking for something in particular. Recently I’ve noticed an abundance of items, so much so it feels like too much for the size of the store and products sitting on carts with no place to go. The clearance section really should be a half off of more section because 9x out of 10 the items are broken beyond use or repair and should really just be thrown away. Good finds for decent prices. I wish some of the art and mirrors weren’t $150 + because the quality really isn’t worth that. Some of the furniture is decent but others are poor quality for high prices. If anything it’s more for gifty items and decor that you won’t feel guilty for donating or reselling in a couple years when you want to change a theme. The Ames store is a much better size with more selection!
They have Jim Shore now! Seems more expensive than online though and I saw one that wasn’t in the locked cabinet that was broken in 3 places and was only discounted $5. I should have taken a picture!”

“This is my preferred TJ Maxx. The shelves are stocked and employees are very busy working to organize. Now if we could only do something about the parking lot, it is extremely dangerous and an accident waiting to happen.”
“Friendly staff and a decent selection of snacks and drinks. Every time I've been inside it's always very clean and well stocked. The pumps are also kept clean.”
“Such a nice store kept clean and tidy. The fragrance area is to the forward of the store. As you go through the doors, oh my gosh so nice smelling when you enter.”

“Target Merle Hay is a-ok. Smaller version of the "super" Target that is only 5 min away. The layout of this location is different from the rest. It's also located and attached to the mall. Grocery can be found here. This location had some items in stock that others would be fully stocked. Nice collection of everything that a larger store would have: Opalhouse, Hearth and Hand, seasonal clothing brands, vegan items, electronics, bikes. I can tell they stock less of the items due to space. Service is ok. I tend to see same cashiers and customer service managers. I hardly come here but I have found that if other locations are out of something, I can find it here via Target app. Drive up pick up is offered here. Parking lot can be crazy. Layout is similar to others in DSM but just smaller.”
“Von Maur has been my favorite store for more than 30 years. You will NEVER find better service than what you get at Von Maur. Their credit card service is top notch, as well as their gift wrapping. I love everything about Von Maur.”

“It’s part of the TJ Maxx companies which I love. They have very similar items to TJ Maxx. Sometimes if I can’t find an item I saw at TJ Maxx, I go to Marshall’s to see if they have the item I want. They have unique and interesting products. They sell clothing, shoes, bedding, towels, kitchen wares, gift supplies and luggage. If you find something you like, better buy it. It won’t be there when you come back. I never go to the mall anymore.”

“Very clean store, I seen an employee facing the shampoo shelf and I was amazed how good it looked! I always find something I need and always have a great experience!”
“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.”
“Had a great experience at JCPenney. The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to shop. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. There was a nice selection of clothing and home items at good prices, and we were able to find exactly what we needed without any hassle. Always a reliable place to shop, and we’ll definitely be back.”

“Plenty of winter clothing brand names at low prices. Went in looking for a new winter headband and came out with a Michael Kors Knitted headband for $14.99. No flaws.”
“Extremely clean store, vast selection, and some great apparel items as well as tons of other things. Very friendly staff. I can't wait till they get to California.”
“My only complaint is I notice the same employee in an orange jeep parks right outside the doors every day. Where I come from employees are supposed to park as far away from customer entrances as possible.”
“Went in for a bra fitting, and my experience exceeded any fitting I've ever had. Hannah was so helpful, and made me comfortable the entire process. She also went out of her way to find me a second bra in my size, as well as offering to get me one on order. She cared more about what would be comfortable for me rather than selling the highest dollar item.”
“I exchanged some jeans I ordered on line. When looking through the store I purchased jeans ,a sweater and a blouse. The sales clerk all very helpful and friendly.”
“I needed to order an item that was no longer in stocks at the store location. Last time I did that, there were kiosks that you placed your order on! I went to customer service and the supervisory gal helped me get my order placed on my smartphone & I was able to use my gift card balance before finding out the total I needed to pay! Easy, peasy!! Now I know how to do it going forward. Thank you!”
“I ordered mermaid-themed cupcakes from the bakery. They exceeded my expectations, so in March I went again to the bakery to see what they could do for a safari jungle-themed baby shower. Justin, who had done the mermaid cupcakes, was so helpful. He made the most awesome jungle animals decorated on cupcakes that matched the dinnerware (See attached photos). I was blown away with how darn cute they were! Please give Justin the recognition he deserves. He is top notch! Rarely do you find someone who goes above & beyond expectations & is so willing to do so; and with such professional & eye-catching creations. Target is so lucky to have such a. talented individual in their bakery! He has my business!”
