About time Ames had a little hippie shop! This is a Des Moines store branching out into Ames. I’ve only been once but I’m a fan! There’s hookah, pipes, hemp jewelry and clothing, fun shirts, bumper stickers, face and body jewelry, the whole shebang. The owner was there and he was really nice and helpful. It’s located inside of North Grand Mall. If you’re from a metropolitan city then a good comparison would be to call it a small town Spencer’s Gifts or Hot Topic, but it does seem to have higher quality and fairer prices than similar shops I’ve been to. For a small town store it is quite wonderful and I hope they continue to expand(and keep the quality) to other cities and towns. Wanna look like a rockstar? Stop by Shag. There’s all kind of cool novelty items. You’re sure to find something you like, I guarantee it.
