To be clear - my post was about the ones in West Des Moines/Jordan Creek Mall. Updated my post.

Yeah. I give that store a year. If you want to buy expensive gear go to the bookstore. If you want to buy better gear at cheaper prices go to Dogtown Such a waste of that corner.
Agreed. Bring back headliner/peoples/charlie yokes. Or honestly I think a solid sports bar would kill it there
Have to admit I often forget about Dogtown until we drive by it but I agree Bookstore is priced crazy...but can't blame them they are just like every other college store they are focused on when moms and dads come to spend money. My wife buys a lot from Barefoot. I don't see Rally House lasting long at that location IMHO.
is anything in the basement? probably better to have just filled that with concrete lol. iykyk
Dogtown has been my favorite for years - but they recently switched to a thicker fabric on a lot of their shirts. it's probably technically higher quality, but I like the thin and soft "tri-blend" material over the new "comfort tee" they have. prices and logos are still awesome, just wish they went back to their normal base shirt
I actually like Rally House better than the bookstore. Better selection and the prices are similar. That said, corner of LW and Welch? Sorry, but all the student foot traffic in the world is not going to keep that place open. You need customers with actual disposable income. And for that, you need parking.
Bookstore is tax free.
Cys and bookstore gets you something like 15% off with alumni or Cyclone Club IIRC.

This is true. And they will frequently do discounts during the football season. This is fair to factor in.
Rally House has a nice selection but will not buy unless on sale. They are pricey.
ISU Bookstore does give discounts for being a member of the ISU Alumni Association.... not sure if Cy's lockerroom does but I will ask next time I am there.

Cys does either alumni or Cyclone Club.
I'm a member of both so I can't recall which is which but I know I get a discount at the bookstore and cys with one of both of those options.
Yeah they'll do discounts per points scored (up to a certain %). With no tax and discount, buy after a big win.
One step closer to the fire station moving -- bond issue going on the November ballot.
