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.

It's not like your typical consignment store packed with merchandise all over that it can be overwhelming. No, it feels like you have walked into any nice retailer, well laid out items and they are selective about what they take. The prices are wonderful and they have a mix of new stuff too (Doug & Melissa toys, etc..). The staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have a location in Ames. Good for baby, children and maternity too!

From the owner: Tons of clothing and toys for your kids, plus maternity. Don't forget the customer service, great…read moreinventory selection and fun shopping experience.

Have shopped and sold here a handful of times now. Overall I recommend it if you don't have crazy…read moreexpectations. As far as shopping there, they never seem to have much selection in the size/s I'm shopping for, so I dont buy a lot at once, but I typically pick up a few things each trip. I find the selling side to be kind of hit and miss. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised with the payout, other times (more recently) kind of underwhelmed. Also I really wish their turn around time was a little quicker, it typically seems to take around 6 hours +\- for them to get thru your stuff; so I always have to return the next day, which isn't the most convenient.

With Younkers and Von Maur exiting the only anchor store left is JCPenney. And JCPenney isn't what it used to be... Every now and then Valley West Mall lands a gem like Blaze Pizza and recently European Taste that sticks, but for the most part it seems to be a dying environment. I don't feel the drive-in or carnivals are a good idea. It seems to bring problems to the area that those of us who live in the Clive West Des Moines area don't need. Personally I feel it's more trouble than it's worth. Some businesses may benefit from the people it brings to the West side. Valley West Mall doesn't have the quality of a food court that Merle Hay Mall does... Though foodie traffic would probably go a long way in bringing this mall back. While I now spend more time and money shopping at Jordan Creek and the Outlets in Altoona...I continue to shop at Valley West Mall when I can. I'm rooting for a comeback!
