“I only come to Des Moines twice a year for work conferences, I love Soma bras and undies. I stopped in April 16, 2026 and the gals working were absolutely wonderful! I had saw a cami pj set online that was supposed to be in stock in the store, they could not find but instead found online and set me up for free delivery to my home 4 hours away. Terrific and fast service. I did not catch their names, but they deserve all the praise!”
“I’ve had the pleasure to work with both Julie Ross and Paula Reicks at K. Renee. They have helped me find pieces to complement our bedroom; redesign our entryway; find a new cocktail table, side table, and accent pieces for our family room; and more recently a whole new makeover of our living room. One thing I appreciated most about both designers was their willingness to find new pieces that complemented already-existing pieces within our home. They have helped me create a home that is warm and inviting. Whether you are building a new home, looking for a whole new look, or just want a few new pieces for your home, I highly recommend that you stop in at K. Renee’s and talk to one of the designers. It was the best decision I ever made!”
“Lucy and Jenna were absolutely amazing they made me feel so welcome in the store They helped me with everything I needed from the fitting rooms, size changes, helped me put outfits together. The store was clean well organized and honestly one of the best experiences that I've had at torrid.”
“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!”
“As a person using a mobility device, aka a rolling walker, I struggle going into stores that have lots of little items. This store’s aisles and places to walk through were immaculate snd easy to navigate. A lot of times, I skip shopping in similar stores, because my mobility device is a hinderance, and I can’t safely shop the store. When I was there on April 4th, 2025, I was able to safely shop and look with no issues or assistance needed, which rarely happens. The people working were extremely helpful and kind. I hope this continues and spreads to other places. This store is proof that ADA compliance is possible, and fun items are for everyone!”
“Came in today to buy a pair of pink vans.
I believe the managers name was Ashley, she was very kind, sweet, and helpful and helped me pick out a pair. Whoever the GM is should give her a raise.”
“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

“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Thank you so much to the girls that work there. They were so helpful. I felt like a fish out of water trying to find a top for my daughter.. I showed the girls a picture of what I needed and they pointed it out helped my find the right size etc. So thank you.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“One of my partner's favorite stores, but it is the customer service that I truly appreciate. I am grateful for the always kind staff who greets a guy and makes him feel comfortable when he has zero options in the store. Special thanks to Elena for her recent kindness.”
“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”
“Went to Chicos for the first time with my 89-year-old mom today, looking for jeans for her. The staff there could not have been more kind, patient and helpful! We found a pair that she loves, and look great on her. All the clothing is such a nice quality. We will be returning to get her some tops as well.”
“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)”
“Blown away is an understatement. As a plus size individual, it’s very hard finding a store that carries my size and has very cute and trendy pieces. My jaw was on the floor the entire time. The prices are stellar and the selection is huge. This is a video of just their plus size section. The store was exactly half plus sizes, half straight sizes. I also do not have my ears pierced, and their selection of clip ons is the biggest I’ve found! The staff was amazing and so very helpful (only one woman, and she was dedicated to helping). The store, dressing rooms, and bathrooms were all very clean. This has become my new go-to spot!”
“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.”
“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.”
“The best denim shopping experience I’ve ever had! The owners desire very much for their customers to be happy with their purchase and experience! I don’t think I’ll shop for jeans anywhere else!!”
“Great selection, staff helped and made sure I found what I was looking for. Very knowledgeable in boots as well, will be shopping there again next time I need boots.”
“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.”
“I came in around 1 pm today. And I had the absolute best experience I’ve ever had while shopping. Today was my first day buying clothes for myself after having a baby. The two amazing ladies that were working gave me great advice, and picked out outfits they thought would look good! Today was the first time trying on clothes that I didn’t cry looking at myself in the mirror, I cried of happiness!!! Thank you SO much ladies. You have no idea how much today meant to meI’m very bad with names but I believe her name was Brooklyn, and she was just the best of the best”
“Beautiful and trendy clothes! I feel like I'm a bit older than their target demographic but I'm always able to find something that I like and the prices are very reasonable. I didn't catch her name, unfortunately, but the woman who helped me tonight was very friendly.”
“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!”
“Excellent experience at Journeys Kids!
Cloud helped our family, and she was fantastic from the moment we walked in. She was attentive, friendly, and quickly asked what size shoe my daughter wore. She then helped us find the right sizes for my other two kids and made the entire process easy and stress-free.
Cloud was knowledgeable and proactive, helping us pick out the right accessories, including socks and shoe protectant, to go with the shoes. She wasn’t pushy—just genuinely helpful and focused on making sure we found exactly what we needed.
It’s refreshing to receive this level of customer service. We left with everything we needed, and the kids were happy. Cloud did an outstanding job, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
“Love this store! Great selection & Great helpful staff. Very happy they have petites in the store! They also have ordered things for me with free shipping sent directly to my home.”
“Awesome experience shopping for jeans with Emily! She was so incredibly helpful (and patient). I got a really comfy pair that are dressy enough for work. Really cute shop. I will definitely be back!”
