2026 02 21 - Mall, Jordan Creek Town Center, West Des Moines IA

2nd level

A mall not like those in MN. There is no Macy's (former Dayton's) or JCPenny's.It is anchored by a Von Maur and Dillard's. Also a Scheels and a movie theater. It is a newer mall, built in 2004, so it is one of the newer malls anywhere and has no real competition in Des Moines. There are no Macy's in IA and it sounds like the JCPenny's no longer has mall entrance to the mall where it is located.

This mall has 150 stores so it is larger than the average one we walk at.

We wanted to be out of town for the weekend. Stopped here in IA then went on to KC.

Besides walking here on a weekend ... it was more crowded then the Fargo mall had been but different day ... we also ate here. I had a Charley's and a malt from a malt place. The longest line was at Chick-fil-A where there always seemed to be 20+ people waiting in line. No vacant food spots and few vacant store fronts.
