Cute name and cute clothes. I was in Ankeny and wanted to find a gift for a friend. Clothes that…read moreyou can't find at chain stores. Something original and with personality. I found that and more at this store. When I walked in I was immediately in awe and knew this was exactly what I was looking for. I will admit, I was almost certain that prices would be over the top, but that's not the case at all. The prices were more than reasonable for these original pieces and some made right here in Iowa! I believe the clothes size ranged from newborn to at least toddler, maybe a bit bigger, I didn't inquire. Besides clothes they had other fun gifts as well. I encourage you to support small businesses and this one is a definite must if you have a child or any children in your life.

Adorable clothes. Great for gifts even if you don't have a little one in your daily life. Awesome…read moreowners and service!

It's always reminded me of the book store in You've Got Mail and just that lovely old school toy store feel. It was the only toy store we had but it was perfect. The marbles were always one of my favorites and the large stuffed animals of lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Worth the trip every single time

I always loved walking by the huge stuffed animals in the windows when I lived in Ames! They have classic toys from the 50's, to modern stuff kids today would dig! Great selection of stuffed animals, books, nut crackers, games, toy cars.. you name it they got it! They also do a fantastic job of wrapping those Christmas gifts for the little special ones in your life! The store is a fantasy world of fun, for all ages and I highly recommend stoping in here if you make it to Ames ever! I feel like JOSH from the movie BIG when he walks into FAO Shwarz for the fist time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yu62StlsMY

There's quite a variety of items to choose from and you can even bring in your own for consignment. The only downside to that, in my opinion, is how picky they are with what they will and will not accept. That's ok though, the rest gets donated, so no harm done :) All of the staff members are very welcoming and helpful too. Worth the stop to shop :)

We spent an entire afternoon exploring Jordan Creek Town Center and it's easy to see why it's a…read morego-to destination. The layout is modern, clean, and inviting with plenty of natural light, walkways by water features, and a comfortable mix of anchor stores and specialty shops. Parking was plentiful (though busy on peak days) and signage made getting in and out manageable. The mall features over 110 popular retailers including Apple, Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, Sephora, lululemon, and more. We popped into Apple to check out the latest devices, browsed through Anthropologie for a few gift ideas, and also stopped by H&M for casual wear. The variety here means there's something for everyone in the family. The food options were solid too. The food court has familiar favorites; for a more upscale break, restaurants with patios overlooking the lake offer a more relaxing atmosphere. The staff everywhere we encountered them was courteous and helpful, especially in stores where we asked questions. The mall is well maintained, restrooms are clean, and common areas feel well cared for. We appreciated the amenities like stroller or wheelchair rental, device charging stations (outside Apple), and multiple restroom throughout. One thing to be mindful of: some mallgoers report that kiosk vendors by walkways can be overly enthusiastic--if you're not in the mood to be approached, it helps to keep moving. Overall, Jordan Creek Town Center offers a top-tier mall experience in the Des Moines area. Great mix of stores, nice ambiance, and strong amenities make it worth the visit.

I love that they do size fits with every item and Amanda Binder is like the "average woman" she likes things loose in the midriff and likes pants that cover her butt. They have sassy items that are great for gifts. They have items for women it all ages: juniors, 20s-80s! Their kids clothes are adorable too. There is NOTHING I do not like about this store!! They are now carrying natural makeup, soaps, and lotions. I personally love everything, they also do fun giveaways on most lives and offer a discount for joining their text club and for downloading their APP! There is no better feeling than supporting a locally owned and operated business!
