Another New Waukee District
- Thread starter Jer
- Start date
In Ankeny I almost always go to the old HY-Vee as it is cheaper than the newer one. Quite a bit on the things we normally get. I never understood how the same company with 2 stores in the same town what 2 miles apart has such drastic price differences on the same products.
This whole thing seems like a waste. Does every suburb need a massive mall development? I can understand building a target or whatever but jeez.
I also hate urban sprawl so I disapprove of Waukee and Ankeny in general so I am definitely biased.

So...come to Waukee where you can experience...well...almost everything you could expereience in any other suburban world in the midwest? My snarkiness isn't anti-Waukee...just miss the uniqueness of different communities in the past.
Ehhh it's basically a strip mall.
At least prairie trail in Ankeny tries to feel somewhat urban and interesting.
Anyways people love strip malls, I don't know why I care so much.
I don't mean to be mean but LOL.
This is a power center/Lifestyle center in the industry. Just a rebranded mall without interior stores as everyone wants curbside parking for pick-up and exterior doors for access.
Between this and Apple's data center.. How many acres of prime development ground in Waukee will be parking lot or data center with minimal property taxes (per acre basis).
That is a lot of parking lot. Targets in DC and Buckhead Atlanta have parking decks underneath the store. I’m sure it costs more, but seems like a better use of land.
The price of land has to be very high to make it worthwhile. Suburbia rarely makes it. Occasionally an office tenant will build one because they don't want a huge lot that accommodates enough surface.
Never understood these places. There’s a perfectly fine strip club somewhere in your area and you can likely bring your own booze.
Glad someone finally mentioned the beans. The steaks are solid, all things considered, but the cactus blossom, green beans and rolls/cinnamon butter are the real winners, IMO. Once in a blue moon, I'll order sides for takeout and cook a steak myself.
