“I found and purchased a fabulous distressed lantern for my front porch. It's just gorgeous and I'll put 3 candles with timers in it. It was very reasonably priced and I had such a fun experience shopping. Everyone was so helpful. I always love shopping there.”
“Gail and her team do an amazing job! All the products we have purchased have been outstanding in quality. We recently had an issue with an outdoor sofa we purchased from one of the big box stores. Gail found a way to help us find a solution to our problem when the big box store didn’t care to help us. Highly recommend Backyard adventures. We won’t be shopping anywhere else going forward.”
“Have purchased several furniture pieces from Artis and been pleased with the whole experience. Their collections are outstanding examples of contemporary and traditional Arts and Crafts and they offer custom and in-home designer services. Definitely worth a visit to see for yourself.”
“Kenilworth House is one of my favorite places and my go to place whenever I'm looking for something wonderful for my home. Sheila and the staff there are amazing, they always go out of their way to help you find just what you're looking for. I've only lived in Des Moines 2 1/2 years but finding Kenilworth House was discovering a real treasure. If you haven't stopped in please do, you won't be disappointed Ernie Krueger”
“Terrill has done design work for three of our homes over the years. She is a joy to work with and will be the only designer we will ever use for our homes in the future. She has the amazing ability to take what we like in any type of room and make it a reality. At times, she has pushed us a little out of our comfort zone with furniture or art pieces but in the end they ended up being our favorite. She is an exceptional designer for any style.”
“The team at Beirman Furniture is second to none in the Des Moines area. Top level service from start to finish. I have worked with Drew and Nate for 3 years and have been very impressed with what they are able to do for their clients. I recommend Beirman to anyone who needs office furniture or complete office remodels.”
“The 1st thing to remember is that everyone is struggling with staff and to be kind to the staff who are there in trying to help people. I found that staff were more than willing to help me and most of the time would actually walk me to an area that I had questions about rather then just give me a general directions and send me on my way. The store was clean and well organized and staff were wearing masks and they had screens up to protect their cashiers all things that show me that they're caring about their employees. Target has all kinds of products that are appropriate for young families. My particular area of interest is their paper products and groceries. It's where I go to get my bulk paper towels and my bulk Kleenex. This particular target has t grocery area and they have all the items that you could ever need. They have high quality in the fresh food, frozen food and dry goods. They have a great beverage selection including water. Health drinks and wine and alcohol. I find that I can usually get in-and-out in a very timely manner.”
“Went on a Sunday, and they were staffed EXTREMELY well, even at 11am. Staff was available as needed and not pushy. We was able to wander until we found all our items in our list. We then had David, who was in clearance section, handle all our transactions. TALK ABOUT EASY PEASY! Everything was easy to do with him, he communicated about options, including delivery, and with one swipe of our card, WE WAS DONE!”
“Ron was great. They have tons of great stuff. Walked in and bought a patio table and chairs. They delivered it in about 20 minutes. The delivery guys set it up with no problem, great guys! Highly recommend you stop in.”
“This location is a large-format store with a deli, bakery, and expanded grocery. It also retains the classic SuperTarget logo even as Target continues to phase out SuperTarget branding. They sell some unique items here that I don’t normally see at many Targets, like Kendra Scott jewelry, with even more interesting products arriving when the Target Beauty Studio opens sometime in September. This location also has a CVS (located in the center of the store rather than along a wall), an Optical Center, and a Taste of Target area that sells classic popcorn and slushies. Oddly, the Taste of Target area is located on almost the exact opposite side of the store from the Starbucks. The Starbucks area is quite large and appears to have formerly been a Food Avenue food court, like those found in ‘80s and ‘90s Targets. My only point of critique is that, as of Fall 2026, the deli sells a lot of Boar’s Head products, and not just the prepackaged sandwich meats you see at many Targets. I can’t recall if all of the meat products in the deli section were Boar’s Head, but I can see the brand’s presence posing a problem for Target in the future, since I just don’t think many people trust Boar’s Head after its recent food-safety controversies. The bakery seems nice, though, selling both Target-branded pre-packaged goods and made-to-order baked goods. They also carry Krispy Kreme doughnuts.”
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
Wayfair is testing a new, smaller store design. The online home furnishings giant, famous for its endless digital catalog, is trying a different strategy for its physical locations. The company announced plans to open a smaller prototype store in Columbus, Ohio, scheduled for late 2026. Located next to the Polaris Fashion Mall, the new space will span approximately 70,000 square feet.
Online furniture giant Wayfair is setting up shop in Atlanta with plans for a huge 150,000-square-foot store opening in 2026. The new location will take over the former Walmart space at The District at Howell Mill shopping center. This marks Wayfair's second big store, following its first location that opened in Wilmette, Illinois, in May 2024.
