Finally get to update my Bills Brothers review from 7 years ago!…read more This place was hopping on a Saturday afternoon. I suspect everyone was out spending their stimulus checks and tax refunds. The parking lot was nearly full. My husband and I are closing on our new home in 2 weeks, and I thought we should check-out Bills Bros for a dining table. 10 years ago I had great luck here furnishing my home; I still have most of the furniture to this day. Bills didn't deliver on the dining table, but they did have a lot of great accent furniture at very reasonable prices. Think accent chairs, lamps, bar stools, end tables, walls decor and throw pillows. Once we're moved in I might come back and look around again. Sales staff are friendly and not at all pushy. Available if you have questions. Lots of clearance items and one-offs. I saw a new-in-box Barbie Dream House for $129.99 that my 10-yr. old self squealed over. You just never know what you might find here! No frills here, but the selection is nice. Recommend!

Our living room furniture (couch & loveseat) as well as our mattress came from Bill's Bros. I would…read morehave to say for how little the price was, everything has held up great and still looks good as new! They do have other smaller household decor, like lamps, coffee tables/side tables, clocks, and the like. Their website gives only a brief look at their inventory, you should really go into the store to see everything for yourself. I would definitely come here first if you arn't on an unlimited budget. Only accepts Visa and Mastercard, no Discover or American Express. Just FYI.

Treasure Chest Collectibles offers a mix of items at reasonable prices. I occasionally visit and…read moredon't always find something to buy but this weekend I grabbed a handful of vintage trading cards (used and new/sealed) and a couple magazines. Even better, I was surprised to learn comic books were on sale so I got additional money off the latter purchases! The store isn't large and consists of four distinct parts: the front area, three small rooms, and a hallway connecting them all. Up front you'll find numerous trading cards and knick-knacks adorning the shelves. The first room on your right houses more traditional antique store offerings. Up one room (my personal favorite) is the toy collectibles wing. Think action figures and comic books. The final room is seasonal themed--mostly Halloween and Christmas. That one's kitschy to me but does open up the shop to more types of buyers who might find themselves in a holiday mood. Lastly, the hallway has videos and CDs, all a hearkening back to the physical media past. One thing I REALLY appreciate about Treasure Chest Collectibles is how they tag their items. By gently affixing sticky note-like labels to each piece, there's no annoying residential goo once you remove a tag. (Take note, Stuff, Etc. and others). Open your own box of old goodies waiting to be discovered at this small but fun place.

The indifferent: staff is friendly but a little too "worried" about "sticky fingers". I'm an honest guy, you don't need to stare me down - nonetheless, I understand they are protective of their store and treasures. Maybe I was just having a good hair day? The bad: one of the most horribly overpriced antique stores I've ever been in my life! Yikes. We would go again to look at the pretties but wouldn't mortgage our house to buy anything.

All that is left is the library, Pretzelmaker, Eddie Bauer, Younkers, JC Penney, Bath & Body Works & city offices that were flooded out of downtown.

The only thing that kept this mall alive is that the floods came through in 2008, and city and county government had nowhere to go, but to a surprisingly empty, dead mall out on the edge of town. This place is so dead and lame that there is even a website dedicated to tearing it down http://teardownwestdale.com/ Here is a link to the entry for this so called 'shopping mall' on Deadmalls http://deadmalls.com/malls/westdale_mall.html Every time I walk through, I'm one of the few people inside, it's kinda spooky, like something out of a Romero movie. Uuuuuugggghhhh Brrraaaaiiiinnnnnsssss! Sadly, this place is empty, you wont even find zombies. I have no idea why Yonkers and Chick-Fil-A haven't pulled out. I'd imagine the Chicken shop doesn't leave, because it feeds the city employees who don't want to leave on their lunch breaks. Oh, and another thing, the entire area around this mall is going gonzo nuts with business and new stores and restaurants. This mall should be a dream location. Instead it just sits and rots alive, like a hobo chained to the inside of a boxcar at the end of a long forgotten rail siding. Something strange is going on with this place. Makes me wonder what kind of property management company is running it. There is absolutely no reason this mall should be in such an awful state. Once the go-to spot in CR, now it is a shadow of it's former self.

Love this place. I was finally able to visit the Goodwill Outlet Store in CR over the weekend. If…read moreyou're familiar with Cedar Rapids, the Outlet is in part of the former Klein Tools building on the SW side near the airport. Big, clean, open shopping space. Blue 'boats' cover the sales floor and are filled with all kinds of items. Gloves are required in order to dig through the bins. You can bring your own, or buy them at the Outlet for $1.99/each. Wonder why gloves are required? Your safety, of course. A new boat is rolled out every 30minutes (I believe). We had arrived a little after 4pm (closing is at 5pm) on Saturday and the last boat had just been rolled out. Don't assume that the boats are full of stuff the local stores didn't want - that isn't the case. I'm not sure how the boats are originally organized, but by the time the day is over clothing is mixed in with housewares. Books and cds/dvds stayed relatively separate from all other items. There are lots of great things to be found including higher-end shoes like Cole Hahn, Puma, Nike, Adidas, vinyl records, great books, etc. Merchandise is sold by the pound at $1.49/lb. If you have a heavy item and are curious about the cost, there is a self-service scale available for customers to use. Employees can put a pile of your items on their counter scale, or roll your entire cart onto the freight scale. Furniture is priced individually, but I didn't see any on the sales floor when we visited. The person I was with said they had never seen the boats so 'light.' Maybe donations are down right now. I definitely plan to come back in a few weeks, but a few hours earlier. Most customers and all employees were wearing masks, which I really appreciated. If you want to sift through each bin it will take all day. Restrooms available, shopping carts, a nice vending area (because you'll really need a snack 2 hours in). Check-out is similar to Aldi, in that there is a counter where you can bag or box your items before leaving. Employees don't bag. There are bags and boxes available for customers to use, but I'm sure you can bring along your own. Very friendly staff. Parking lot can get cramped when busy, and a small lounge area for sitting would be nice so shoppers could take a break without having to go back out to their cars. We left with a shopping cart full including books for $35. One of the top places in Eastern Iowa to find a good deal. Highly recommend.

I've also found a number of grocery items that were cheaper than Walmart, too! The custom sliced deli meat varies from inexpensive (the Market Pantry stuff is gross in my opinion!) to very quality products such as Kretschmar and Applegate brands. Ask your slicer for a sample - they will happily give you one! The Applegate Provolone is the finest provolone I have tasted for a long time. It's great stuff and one product I used to convince customers to try. One slice and you are hooked. The employees are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. I know this from having been an employee and a customer. Even though I don't work there any more, I continue to shop at Target and enjoy doing so. My only negative comment is about the price. Target is usually higher on things than comparable products at Walmart. But then again, Walmart is a dimly lit cave... Target is classy and brightly lit.
