“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!”
“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 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 !!!”
“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 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!❤️”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!!”
“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 was on the hunt for something specific. While one employee told me the item was in “storage.”Jackie, the store manager, went above and beyond looking through several boxes to locate the item I was looking to purchase. She didn’t have to do that on a busy Friday evening, but she did! It’s the little things that matter. She was very personable and has the customer- first mindset. (I’m a customer care manager myself)”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“All my favorite jeans? Metro Market, hands down.
They’ve also got the cutest tops, dresses and fun accessories that instantly level up your outfit.
Sure, you can hit a big box store and see the same stuff as everyone else… But I’d rather shop with a women-owned biz that brings the style and the heart.”
“I wanted to leave an amazing review on Kayla. I walked in looking for a dress I saw on the window and she showed me where to find it, offered to show me the fitting rooms, brought me different size dresses to help me find the perfect fit. I didn’t up purchasing the dress there at the store but I loved it so much I had to order it online. She was so nice and made my experience special!”
“Great location, lots of clothes and items to choose from, but I didn't find much I liked. Most of the designs I liked were the new polyester athletic material and I'm not a big fan of those. The cotton or vintage shirts were all weird designs that I didn't particularly like. If you like the polyester clothing, you'll be right at home with a huge selection. I ended up with a vanity plate for my car and am very happy with it!”
“After having a bad experience at J Jill, we were fortunate enough to be helped by a girl named Emma. She was amazing! Despite it being busy, Emma was super sweet and energetic. She went out of her way to assist us and made our shopping experience so much better. Her positive attitude and helpfulness really stood out. Thank you, Emma!”
“Super nice store, with very friendly and helpful staff. This was my first experience with their products, I’m not overly impressed with the fit, but the material is very nice. I’m not going with the membership as I think $50 a month is too expensive.”
“J Crew recently rolled out a new credit card which I applied for the first day it was available at a store in Kansa City. There were all sorts of issues and the card was not able to be used that day. I was able to go to our local store in West Des Moines and get everything transferred from another card to the new J Crew card thanks to the help of Karlie. Very impressed with the customer service!!”
“EXCELLENT customer service! Rushed there after a shift at work to get new pants. I haven’t shopped for new in years so it was a def trial and error event. Lol. They were attentive, patient, informative, and helpful. Considering it was less than an hour til close and they had decent amount of traffic still etc they didn’t let it affect how they were with customers! Far and few do you see this anymore!”
“I placed an order online. I received everything I ordered and it was delivered when they said it would be. All the items were just as described and I would buy them again.”
“I ordered a dress over the phone today from the Jordan Creek store and had the nicest assistant help me, I wish I would have remembered her name. Excellent service.”
“really good customer service. the jeans are a bit expensive but the quality makes up for that. i’ve come here 2 times and both times the service was great and the sales associate was also very helpful.”
“The supervisor that was working on the first floor on 10/8 early afternoon was amazing! I didn't catch her name but she helped me with a most likely pretty rare issue I had with customer service about an online order. Customer service sent me to the store and even though there wasn't much she could do on her end she advocated for me to customer service over the phone for quite some time while also managing a busy floor and checking out many people at the counter. I really appreciate it!”

“There were dresses, and I bet they were for less but I did not arrive with the desire for dress. I was on the search for the apparently ever elusive mens 30 jeans. Were jeans acquired? Yes. And were they for less? Absolutely.”
“I was surprised to see Des Moines has an Urban Outfitters. Iowa just got much more hip. The decor and concrete block facade you see as you’re entering the mall through Barnes and Nobles gives some edginess to Jordan’s Creek Mall. As usual, Urban style makes all the other retailers’ fashion seem lame. Great store!”
“This specific Garage location is my favorite Garage to shop at, I’m always greeted right away and the staff is very helpful. One of the cleanest clothing stores at Jordan Creek!”
“If you want style, quality and a contrast to department store bland — Ivy Lane is my go-to! I love the selection and unique pieces that I cannot find locally anywhere else.”
“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!”
