Ace Hardware of Ankeny

I live 5 minutes from two big box hardware stores, but choose to drive out of my way to go to Ace Hardware.  Every time I need help finding something, a knowledgeable person will show me exactly where the product is.  Everyone is friendly and the store is big enough to have what I need yet not so large that it’s overwhelming.  If you sign up for their rewards they will send nice coupons in the mail, and the 3% back with the Apple Card is great too!

I can’t say enough good things about this business! But the customer service is by far the best! Someone always takes the time to ASK ME what i need and provides expert advice! I explain my project and a worker will think of everything i could possibly need for it! Our latest project was painting our inserts and we got all our supplies and paint from here!

I had two things going on at once. Started my snow blower, didn't work very smooth called ace. They picked up the blower and had it running great in a few days. I also had two cracked basement windows. Went to Ankeny Ace talked to John, he cut some plexiglass for me while I waited. Recommended some caulking went home and fixed the two windows. They are not always the cheapest but they know what their doing.

Perfect. Had exactly what I need for reasonable prices. Great selection. Great staff and clean environment.

Great little hardware store. I like the fact that I can buy the nuts and bolts, etc., piecemeal instead of a whole pack like the big box stores sell. And, I'm now an ACE rewards member!

Boone Ace Hardware

I like exploring all the different things they sale here. I prefer to only shop here after 4:30pm as the kids who work after school are so helpful and nice. During the day the adults are very unwelcoming and make you feel likea nuisance for just stepping through the door.

Very helpful.  Good products, reasonably priced.  Yes, more expensive than WalMart, but much better quality.

Went to Ace for a brass fitting, hose clamps,  and seen a role of electrical tape that tickled my fancy. They had exactly what I needed. They always ask me if I need help when walking in the door.

I wish they would carry less stuff that Walmart has. Because they'll never be able to beat the price on grass seed, lawn ornaments or grills. And instead focus more on the home repair and improvement. I think a solid third of the store space is wasted on things Walmart has at better prices. With that extra space they could carry some green treated lumber or composite lumber! Or here's a crazy idea how about a plain black shingle for repairs after storms.

Only employees I seen were young kids that wouldn't have a clue if you needed help with anything no one even asked if needed help. Nothing like other ace's.

Atwoods

This store has a little bit of everything...farm supply, pet supply, auto maintenance supplies and even hunting supplies....and very good prices to boot.

I bought a pair of work boots for my soon. They were too big and needed to be returned. I went in an hour before closing in a Sunday evening. There were only young teenagers working. Only one check out lane was open and the line was 8 people long. A young lady opened up the customer service line to process my return. She wasn’t very happy with me for some reason and was very short. There were multiple young people working and walking around while the one lane was open for the other customers to check out. We personally won’t go back if we can find the items we need somewhere else.

My go-to store for several things and I've always encountered great service so far.

Great selection of winter coats for all price ranges. Decent customer service.

Always a great place to go they have a little bit of everything.

Body Parts Store, Inc

It has been quit a few years since my last visit to this store but I haven't forgotten the great service and friendly staff. You made my Hobbie a much more enjoyable time. But I have moved and am wondering if you ship to out of state places?

Nice products but to get answers and call backs needs much improvement

Something went wrong with their product and when I came and informed? A very nice man  took care of me n a very good way.  I recommend this business 100%

Automotive paint was mixed incorrectly ( to much black pigment) cost me over $600 in waist.  When I come back and ask if it  can be fix the answer was you are on your own.

This place has all the hard to find fasteners you cant find at a regular store! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped me to find  not only what I came in needing but also a few other very useful items I now use regularly. They have sooo much in stock you don't have to wait for what you need which is great because time is money. Ask them about Q bond. That stuff is great. Get some before you have a need for it. You will use it.

Runaround Running & Lifestyle

Went in to the store a few weeks ago. Seemed very fancy and like somewhere I didn’t belong. However, staff was kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. He made me feel welcomed! They didn’t have the color I wanted so they ordered them and sent them to my house. I will definitely go back!!!

Very good selection, good staff, and a very nice and well-designed shop. I came here to buy shoes and get a fitting today and the employee I dealt with was great. After giving the shoes that I purchased a go this afternoon, I am extremely happy with my purchase. These are the most comfortable and best exercise shoes I have owned. I will definitely be back for my next pair. One minor critique is that I think staff during a fitting should ask the customer which style of shoes they would be interested in trying out/purchasing. There were some pairs I tried on that I wouldn't have really considered buying just based on the look/design of the shoes. To be fair I never really made it clear to the employee that I was interested in more than the just the fit of the shoe.

This is the place to go for personalized service regarding running shoes. In future we hope to see the return/refund policy clearly displayed and the salesman taking initiative to point it out at the time of purchase. The owner takes pride in resolving concerns and everyone here has passion for their work. Great shop!

Beyond impressed with their knowledge and service after the sale. I recently bought a pair of Brooks shoes to help with my aching feet caused by my current cheap shoes. They helped scan my feet and after describing what I needed in a shoe guided me to the Ghost 15. After two weeks there was some abnormal wear on one shoe. They were surprised by the wear so soon but exchanged them for a different pair. Cannot recommend these guys enough. Thank you so much for all of your help and getting me into a comfortable shoe!

What an experience! They took me through a process to help me figure out what type of shoe would best fit me. Seriously brought me out 10 different shoes, because I am so picky. The gentleman that helped me was so kind and patient and helped me find the PERFECT pair of shoes. 10/10 would recommend shopping there. Will definitely go back.

Shear Madness Haircuts for Kids

My son has only come here twice, but I've been very happy with the results both times.  Both ladies that cut his hair did an excellent job.  It's clear they are used to working with kids as they are great at moving fast, but being patient at the same time.  We'll be back again next time he needs his hair cut!

Took my 18 month old and it was the best experience he had getting his hair cut! Staff were friendly and did a great job. Will definitely be going again.

By far the BEST place to take young children for haircuts. The stylists are amazing with kids and don't get agitated or annoyed when they inevitably get upset, and cry. So patient and kind. Even with parents/family. My youngest just got his first hair cut.... broke my heart to watch him grow up in front of my eyes... and no one said a thing. Such a great place to have around. Well priced. $35 for a first haircut that saves his hair, before and after pictures, a scrapbook page, and the haircut. Wonderful. It is well worth it yall. 👌 ❤️ 💙

We've been to Shear Madness in West Des Moines two times for piercings without any issues. They even give the kiddos a lollipop during/after after the piercing and a plushie. My first child was 18 months, and my second was a petite 12 months. They have various earring qualities and sizes, including white or yellow gold for babies.

We always have a quick and easy time here. Even tho my kiddo isn’t super fond of haircuts, the stylists are always really patient and get the job done

Outlets of Des Moines

There were all the popular stores here. If you're looking for an outlet store and it exists, then it's here. My sister and I spent the day shopping here and there were some great deals on some great fashion. If you're looking for clothes, shoes, bags, purses, jewelry or anything along those lines you're going to find it here. The atmosphere here is a beautiful outdoor shopping mall with gorgeous plants and flowers during the spring summer and there were fireplaces for those times when the temperatures where more appropriate. I did not notice any restaurants in this outlet mall but there were places to eat and drink in the surrounding areas. We found what we were looking for and left happy overall, not too crowded and great deals! I would recall shopping here if you're looking for retail stores but want a deal.

Came to visit the Christmas Light display and half the light were not on.
Disappointed 😞

I've only been there a few times and have no complaints. IBEW was just out there to help with the jolly holiday lights being Adventureland won't let them set up out there this year. Which is a shame. But at least the outlet mall allowed them to set up there. The donations go to a good cause

I just don't get the "outlet mall" vibe here. Outlet malls, as I remember them, are supposed to have all the popular stores that aren't commonly found all over with discounts that make it worth spending the whole day and your whole wallet on.
Maybe that's just me trying to remember way back when times were different. I guess shopping at home has played a big part in the change. So I shouldn't technically blame it on the mall itself but still, where are the 'outlet mall discounts' that they're so famous for? I guess it just seems like outdoor street shops, or a town center to me, and typically, a quiet one at that. A 100 million dollar disappointment.

Highly recommend the Merrill's store. Very helpful staff that was very accommodating. Looking forward to buying more shoes there.

Walmart Supercenter

Its very hit-or-miss here. Some employees are absolutely great people. They will go out of their way to be friendly and helpful in any way possible. Then there are a few that just ruin the experience. They would rather spit on you than help with anything.

The store itself is great! I really like the clothing section. A bit jealous of the business pants at this location vs the one back home. Very clean and organized. Was able to find what I needed pretty quick.
Would’ve given 5-⭐️, but the employees seemed to be very angry with the world. There were a few exceptional employees that assisted me, but everyone basically looked miserable.

This Walmart superstore is slowly becoming  slum. The isles are unkempt, the shelves are not organized.  The produce isles are super messy. There's random shoppers with dogs in the produce and meat area.

The bathroom is worse than the rest area in Florida.  Super dirty, trash bins are full and debris littered the entire bathroom.

It's disappointing to slowly see your favorite grocer self destruct.

Aldi across the street is a better option, there are hyvee or fareway down on 8th street.

They finally repave the parking lot, but the interior remained unkept..

Poory managed and slowly deteriorating.i recommend going to Aldi across the street, Hyvee or fareway down the road.

This is the nicest Walmart I've EVER been to!  All employees were pleasant, helpful and smiled when I spoke to them and asked for help.  NOT ONE were on their phone ... At all!  The store was clean, organized and it was overall a pleasant shopping experience.  Considering I walked a mile to get there, it was well worth the visit. I'm 100% certain the employee demographic had a lot to do with my positive experience!!  I was there in the early a m.  Thank you!!

Where to start....Small quick grocery pick up tonight.  Went to the cashiers and NO CASHIERS!!!!   Not a one.  When I asked a staff person to get a cashier I was informed that no one currently present was able or available. Now for a disabled person such as myself, having a cashier person is not only convenient it is necessary for my shopping experience. As I am hanging onto the the cart and my cane for balance, the store employee looks me dead in the eye and says "You will just have to do it yourself."  Can you imagine the frustration, anger, and humiliation one feels in this instance??  During this ordeal only ONE employee attempted to help. The ladies (a cashier and team leader) actions were worthless, condensing, and without a shred of compassion or smidgen of customer service expertise. As I was laboring and causing myself pain trying to scan heavy (to me) items, maintain my balance and suppress the screaming urge to just leave everything I needed in the cart and leave the building, I watched the very same folks telling another customer that there was not anyone who could help him get gift cards at the self check out, there was no one who could open a register, and it must be his (cards) fault the transaction wasn't working. This was after I watched them "teach" this poor customer how to do a Wal-Mart gift card at the self checkout.  I have seen many levels of customer service in my 5 decades, watching, tonight, Walmart's winning race to the bottom was both breathtaking and disgusting.

Mr. Handyman of North Oklahoma City and Edmond

This company was very helpful and came out the same day that I called to have my dryer vent duct clean. The serviceman was quick and showed me the cleaned out duct from the camera he had and cleaned the laundry room. Very courteous. However he did quote me $270 to clean it when he first arrived, but I told him I was quoted &170, so he changed the bill to $170. Not sure what happened there. I was very satisfied with the job

Excellent job on everything. He fixed our shower, faucet in kitchen, bathroom, door in closet. Tim Langley was on time, answered all our questions we asked, was fast and efficient with repairs.  We definitely would use him and refer him to any of our friends. Thank you so much for sending him to us.

Tom and his crew are a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that they walked me through the quoting process and explained everything in detail.

They did a great job caulking around my bathtub. I know I could have done it myself but it would have looked like I did it myself instead of the professional look that was delivered.

They also did a great job of replacing my kitchen sink. It gave the kitchen the looking of a million dollar upgrade while spending pennies in comparison.

I would highly recommend giving them a chance to quote you for your small projects around the home.  It will be money well spent and time well saved!

My husband is not a handyman and household repairs were beginning to stack up. I am so thankful to find Mr. Handyman who has helped me with three home projects so far, and I have definite plans to use them again. They were both professional and affordable, providing quality service. Tim Langley has been our technician for all three projects. He is amazing. He crawled through our less than ideal crawl space and came out with a smile on his face. Thank you so much Tim and congratulations on your new family member!

The team arrived promptly, and were attentive to the requirements. They were quick to assess the needs and quickly provided a solution. Their quote for the work was very reasonable. They got to work quickly, and did an amazing job both moving the door and installing the water heater. Would absolutely use this group again for any household work.

I just want to give a shout out to Sara. (Hope that's how you spell it). Personally I would give her 5+ stars. She's very personable, cares about people, takes time to help in any way that she can, mannered, funny and has great insight! This place is better with her in it!

"BEWARE*. CASH ONLY ....Have had my banking information stolen 4 times using my card at the checkout. Not sure why this Walmart is so sketchy but I only use cash for all purchases. I go elsewhere if I need to make a big purchase.

If I could choose ZERO STARS I WOULD!
Online pickup took over 20 minutes even though the staff spoke to my husband before they went back inside. This was at approx  10pm...no other customers were there. My husband called me saying that nobody was coming and that he was feeling ill. I  called the number to speak to online orders staff, there was no answer and the call was redirected to the help desk...tried to explain what was happening but she interrupted me! THEN when I was still trying to explain she hung up on me!!! We will never shop at Walmart again!!!

Website doesn't match the store
Hours are different even when you call. Money center does not cash personal check over 200.00 which website says $1000 and up with additional charges. Store is a mess. Staff does not great you. I have to use a cane so I use the electric cart when there and the greeter came and grabbed me when going out by the shoulder and said I can't take it out of the store to my car.

Overall not a terrible place. Be careful with the rotisserie chickens. We bought one and when we got home we wanted to eat it and it was raw in the middle.
