Jordan Creek Town Center

This is definitely the best mall in Iowa. It is a great place to walk around, go see a movie, grab lunch and of course shop! They have everything from designer stores like coach, to department stores like Dillard’s, kitchen supply stores, children’s stores, boutiques and everything in between. I see a lot of boutique stores coming and going, which I wish they would actually add more of. It’s nice to be able to find unique pieces that everybody doesn’t already have. This mall is packed during the holidays so be ready for huge crowds and lot walks from the parking lot. Make sure to bring your wallet as it’s hard to get out of there without buying SOMETHING! :)

Let me preface my review by saying that I generally avoid malls like the plague. That being said, the Jordan Creek Mall has been a life saver for my young family as we drive between home in Nebraska and my in-​laws in Chicago.
The mall is very family friendly, with a diaper changing area and a nursing room. These have both been extremely helpful and stress relieving to us. I can confidently say this is the only mall I look forward to visiting!

I love the shopping options that the Des Moines metro has and a big reason for that is Jordan Creek Town Center. I really enjoy the variety of stores it has and also the convenience. It’s always a very clean mall too. I can come during the day and walk with my daughter and even take her to the play area.
They have a great family restroom area at the food court which has been especially great since we have a young child. The food court offers a good variety too.
The only time I really do not like to come here is during the Christmas shopping season as this place gets crazy! Also, evenings on the weekends are busy with teenagers hanging out with their friends. I prefer the less busy times.

It is easy to lose yourself in shopping here, it is the best mall in Iowa.
But some vendors outside the stores are like vultures.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! they will not hire enough help and the people they employ are not trained well. Very frustrating EVERY TIME I shop here. I am DONE.

This is the best mall in central Iowa. They have plenty of stores and I enjoy coming here to go to Barnes & Noble, have some food at the food court, or watch a movie because they have a very nice theater. I’m a regular here on Saturdays and enjoy the atmosphere.

From the Jordan Creek club to the user friendly website and mobile site, this mall is one of the easiest to navigate.
I like browsing malls as much as the next #basicchick, but most of the time I just want to get to a specific store. One of the nicest things about this mall are the multiple outside entrances and available parking. It is seriously easy to get in and out of this mall.
In addition, I’ve found that the variety of stores is pretty good. There’s definitely a couple of locations that have seen their share of turnover, but rarely does Jordan Creek have empty storefronts.
Plus, they have Sephora. And I LOVE Sephora.

Great Mall for weekend shopping. My favorite event is getting a coffee and reading my newspapers in the Barnes and noble. People overcrowd the Apple Store so look out!

This mall is the best place to go! I’ve been going there since I was seven.
They are always updating there stores, so if there is a store that isn’t doing very well we get another good store.
They just recently put Victoria secret and pink separate upstairs, which I love. Where Victoria secret used to be they are putting a Michael Kors.
They have stores for all ages.
Also they have many food choices. Cheesecake Factory, panera, chick-​fil-​a, Antie Anne’s, ect., and they just put in a zombie burger!
It is also very convenient to have a movie theatre in the mall.
If you are just visiting from another state, the mall is surriunded with hotels and other very good restaurants.
Over all a great place!

I have not had a toaster in years. I just have been putting my bread in the oven, it works might not be as officiant but it works! I have been hooked to PB and J’s lately! It’s cheap and damn it makes me feel like a kid again! Which is always good! But I recently had company and they liked toast in the morning and I had no toaster… Gulp.
Here is where this story gets good! Ashley was looking for a new bra and asked a women who worked here and the next thing you know she was taking hostage to the dressing room with a pile of bra’s!
Now what was I to do. So I looked around Younkers a bit, and it’s great! Super nice department store. I headed to the home section where they sell everything from bed sheets, to plates, to mixers, and vacuums!
I wasn’t really thinking about toasters at this point but all of a sudden there they were! And quite the variety too! Toasters with defrost buttons? Toasters with different temps for bagels, alls sorts of Toasters! The technology of the toaster has really moved forward since I was a kid! And guess what they were on sale! BOOM I picked up a 40 dollar toaster for 16.99! I was so stoked to get home and eat a PB and J.
Yes Ashley got a bra, that was like 4 times the price of the toaster but all in all the service was great, the store is clean, and the bathrooms are nice, I dig Younkers!

Younkers stores are all basically the same but at least this location has clerks available at the Cosmetics counters UNLIKE the Fort Dodge store. The Jordan Creek store has a fine selection of cosmetics and fragrances. The home department is also wonderful and extensive. Undergarments are pretty diverse but other clothing for women is limited at best. That’s the only reason I took one star off. Otherwise great store!

Love this mall! It’s got a nice theature, great resturants, the best stores. I’ve been going there since it opened and it still looks brand new. The Panera Bread is my personal favorite for lunch with friends. Wonderful coffee drinks. Delicious bread! Great soup and salad. May I recommend the tomato basil? If you haven’t tried the Cheesecake Factory then it’s a must. A bit expensive, but awesome for date night. One of my favorite stores in the mall is Lush. All natural beauty products and excellent customer service. All in all, a pleasure to have in the Des Moines area.

Play area for toddlers!
Food court with decent choices. All seem to be major chains like Subway, Taco John’s, and etc.
Restaurants on site — Cheesecake Factory.
Movie theater and small arcade attached.
Stores — mix of everything for the family. Cheap to expensive. Major department stores: Younkers and Dillards. No high end luxury shops.
Outside there is a pond walk area with restaurants connected. During summer time they have live bands in the amphitheater area.

Great Mall in Des Moines. Its Huge and very clean. Easy to find the stores you need and plenty of places to eat. I love the Cheesecake Factory located right inside the mall, and a lot of great anchor stores like Barnes and Noble, Scheels, Dillards, and Yonkers, etc. as well as higher end stores like Williams & Sonoma and Pottery Barn. Whenever I am in Des Moines, I make it a point to eat and shop here. I also enjoy all the small stores around the mall as well. Great area, you should be proud Des Moines!

Very nice and immaculately clean and well organized shopping mall! This is one of the nicest malls I have been in. It was so nice for Christmas shopping! Everything is laid out really well! It is a huge location!
I really like that they have a bunch if benches to sit along the way especially with the size of the mall! There are a ton of upscale stores here and others like a great Barnes and Noble, Yonkers, Scheels, etc.
This is a great place to shop and hang out! Especially when the weather isn’t so nice!

This is one of my favorite malls in Iowa, the other one being Coral Ridge mall in Iowa City. I’ve been to better malls in the Midwest, but this mall will do! They have a great movie theater attached and nice restaurants to dine at. They have a big food court also. The stores here range from cheap to expensive — they have high end retailers like William Sonoma and pottery barn to name a few. But cheaper retailers like forever 21. The mall is pretty big but in terms of store selection for women my age, it could be a bit better. They also have a great outdoor area with ponds where you can have a romantic walk.

The Mall of Iowa as I call it, they did a great job here and sooooooo happy we have an awesome mall that is at the top of its game.
1. Several diverse stores and great anchor stores.
2. Well kept and safe mall.
3. Has a large movie theater, plays about 20 movies.
4. Good sized food court and has several restaurants close by and connected.
5. Very vibrant and exciting atmosphere, people love coming here
6. Parking and access is great from all sides.
Great mall and great for the area, happy they were able to do an awesome job executing their vision.

Not much to say about Younkers, always a ton of different brands to shop from and sometimes there are good deals. Pretty much the same experience for Younkers in all the malls I’ve been to in the area. They are kept clean and organized. I have never been to a Younkers until I came to Iowa.
Staff members are friendly, but sometimes it is difficult to locate one when they are extremely busy.

Gah, too crowded on the weekends for my taste. I’d prefer to go on a week day if my schedule permits so I can avoid feeling like a canned sardine.
I’m also going to be that mom for a second. During the week days, the play area is chill. During the weekends, it is a complete shit show with kids taller than 60″ me running around, pushing, screaming, and getting precariously close to my one year old.
There’s a freaking height limit of 42″ for the play area. I shouldn’t have to feel like I’m ready to shoulder check a 66″ tall 12 year old at a moment’s notice to keep my kid safe because his/​her parents refuse to acknowledge the height limit. Frustrating.
Ending on a lighter note, Lush is slated to open up at Jordan Creek soon!

Besides being surprised by the name, I had no idea how to pronounce it. This place reminded me of a cross between JC Penny & Macy’s, leaning more toward the JC Penny’s side. They had lots of sales around the time I went, probably because Christmas was around the corner. The store looked okay. They had some name brand clothing for a decent price.
A visitor to Iowa, I wanted to check this place out because they don’t have these department stores in California. To me, it didn’t really compare to one of my favorite department stores, Nordstrom. I didn’t really check out the store in its entirety, but it looked like your typical department store. It wasn’t anything impressive. There’s not really much to say about this place.

Nice mall, although I don’t do a lot of shopping within the indoor mall. Besides Younkers, I don’t spend a lot of money inside the mall. The outlying stores in the center draw me in more. Best Buy, Costco, Petco, etc. Modern and welcoming area. Plenty of dining options around the area.
Lots of other shopping around the Town Center that enhance the shopping opportunities of the area.
