“I don’t live in Ames, but my sister-in-law HIGHLY recommended Portobello Road to me several months ago. I follow the store on Instagram, but finally got to visit for the first time last week. Talia helped create the BEST shopping experience I have ever had! ? She made me feel comfortable + valued as a customer. She even gave me her opinion during a try-on, which was very helpful. I normally just browse the first visit, but I liked it there so much I just had to buy something! The aesthetic is cool but welcoming. The store has a wide variety of both new + vintage clothing, decor, and accessories for every style. Portobello Road is definitely a support worthy small business! Women owned/operated too :)”
“I was in the store replacing my 14 year old WeatherEdge Eddie Bauer parka. I was talking about the problems my current coat had developed, and Madeline, the employee working at the time, shared with me that my coat had a lifetime warranty. I had not remembered that, and she helped me through the warranty process. Madeline’s service was excellent, and I was very grateful she took the time to help me! Also, I was thankful I had bought my original coat from Eddie Bauer! It’s rare that a company stands by their product with a warranty like that these days!”

“I haven't been to an old Navy in years! Found some VERY Cute stuff AND bought my 4th Of July shirt for our family! Employees were nice and helpful it was a busy holiday weekend!”
“Wonderful store. Actually my first time there and was very impressed. My kids and I didn't get the typical may I help you.....which is great, because so many do not......it's as if we made a friend. So very caring and thoughtful. Great selection of ISU apparel, collectibles, decor. What a great experience.”
“Amazing clothing at an affordable price! I’ve been shopping with Bizzy’s since November and have never been disappointed. The owner, Sydney, as well as her staff are amazing. They’re all very sweet and prompt about answering questions. All clothing is extremely high quality and there is a vast variety of women’s, children’s, accessories and decor. They have a fantastic rewards program on their app and it’s so easy to shop on! Pictured I am in the Vintage like Vinyl shirt, amazing color, quality and price”
