Oh Atomic Garage... it's a shame you don't have more reviews in general... I just had to review…read moreyou. Atomic Garage is an amazing vintage clothing and vintage store in the trendy area in Des Moines... the owner/manager is super chill and a fun person who takes her vintage clothes seriously. Their selection is awesome and reasonably priced for how rare some of it is. It's definitely a great place to stop in when you're in town... and an even better place to stop in when you need a badass outfit to go to a formal event with. It's super well organized and just an overall fun store to walk around. The only reason I took a star off is because some of the stuff isn't for sale. It's only for rent... and that disappointed me. I don't live in town, so I couldn't rent the incredible options of suits/tuxedos that they sell there.

First of all store is huge! It goes way back and is 2 store fronts wide. It's filled with…read moreeverything from antiques to artwork and metalwork. Some of the items that are sold from a vendor you can get customized, like metal sports team sizes. The layout is like a bunch of little shops in one large store. Really unique. Another nice feature is they offer lay away. The Staff is so friendly and very knowledgeable if you are looking for something in particular!

Very nice Antique store with room after room of, "memories"! This would probably be a 3 1/2 star to…read more4 so I will round up, the staff was very very nice asking if we needed anything and small chatting but not bugging us. Lots of fun stuff here, baseball Starting Line Up's I had as a kid, fun furniture, little toy pianos, a whole section of Elvis stuff, records galore, nick nacks, toys, etc. I found a bunch of stuff I though was fun and interesting and the prices were pretty good, but I didn't end up leaving with anything today, but now that I have been here I will probably go back! I love room after room of Memories waiting to be someone else's memories! Take a Sunday afternoon and head to Valley Junction looking for treasures! Lots of good Antique shopping in the Junction.

After returning from Iowa, I'm more passionate about writing my reviews for consignment stores than…read moreI am for the restaurants I ate at..... now that's something new lol. Consignment stores aren't normally "my jam". In South Florida they are mostly cluttered and dirty and I don't have the patience to dig through them. Until now... On a recent trip to Iowa to help my brother get his new apartment sorted and we had some time to kill. He mentioned going to another consignment store and finding some good things, so yelp searched the area and found this place popped up just 2 blocks away. TL;DR - this store is awesome!! It's much bigger than expected. It has some very unique finds. It's quite affordable. It does have a bit of a 70's era theme, but there are pieces to fit everyone. I wish I could come here every weekend!!

If you don't like to dig in the rusty and dusty this is a place you will enjoy. I know my gf did. It's laid out nice with furniture and a lot of shelves and cabinets for smalls. There's tons to look at...! We had a really nice visit with the current owner...and the previous one too. This spot will definitely be part of our regular rotation from here on out...!

Amazing people and items! went there with my dad and sister to go look at antiques, found a…read morebeautiful spring bunny rabbit porcelain set, but it was being sold for $40 (amazing prices!) with about 5 pieces, I didn't have $40 but I really wanted one of the mugs, the nice lady behind the counter told me she cannot sell me just one because people pick and choose and leave her stuck, but, as I was leaving, she asked me which one I even wanted, and she told me; "meh, you seem like a good kid, $10." and it made me feel more valued than any other point that day, that is my favorite thing I got on that trip for no other reason than the sheer sentimental value it holds, amazing place, amazing prices, amazing people.

I had an awful experience with an employee being rude to me here because I didn't know if he was…read moreready to check me out or not. He wasn't really looking at me, and usually the nice thing to do in retail is say something like "I can help whoever is next." Two other customers come up after maybe a minute (at most) and ask me if I was ready, and he blurts out "I don't know what she's waiting for!" And still doesn't address me directly. It was honestly embarrassing! I walk up and lay my things down on the counter and just explain I wasn't sure, and he cuts me off and says "I didn't know I had to make an announcement." The whole checkout process he is still in a mood and doesn't say anything after I say "thank you" even though he's the one who's been rude. I was (and still am) appalled by this kind of treatment, especially in front of other customers. I'm glad there's other locations to shop at!
