Still the best mall in the Des Moines area. You suburbanites can keep your cess pool way out west.
Of the four malls in Des Moines, it is safe to say that Merle Hay Mall has the best choice of anchors...Target, Sears, Kohl's and Younkers (which used to be Famous Barr and should have stayed so we'd
I was appalled to learn Merle Hay is host to what basically amounts to a roadside zoo. I'll be boycotting along with thousands of others until Merle Hay stops allowing this cruelty to animals.

Evan[Bu]July 19, 2011Named after Merle Hay, the first Iowa serviceman and perhaps the first American serviceman to die in World War I.

There is a $2 service charge when purchasing any MHM Gift Cards... Lame!
Jake MonahanApril 14, 2011This place is said to be haunted. Well that's no surprise sense it was built upon a burial ground/cemetery and a bunch of employees burned to death in yonkers in the worst fire in des moines history.

Hey Jessica, not the mall's fault about AE. AE is closing 100 stores across the country and their lease was up, no cost to close
Crystal KnightSeptember 3, 2011The target store managers are rude and don't know what their doing at all.
Richard BuffingtonAugust 26, 2011Dont bother unless you're a wannabe gangster or on some type of government assistance. This place is a dump!
