What sets your business apart on The Avenues?
Anderson: Dream Co. adds a unique style to Ingersoll, not found elsewhere. AJ is connected (through family and friends) to everything sold in the store. There’s a little west coast vibe in the midwest.

What are you diggin’ lately?
Anderson: Des Moines. Des Moines started doing local restaurant scene in the last 10-ish years and that’s happening for retail now, especially on The Avenues. The Avenues has the openness to and room to be here. I needed space, street parking and diversity and The Avenues has it. Des Moines supports local and knows to shop local to keep businesses around.
