Homemakers Named Best Des Moines Area Local Furniture Store in CityView's Annual Awards - 2025

Homemakers Furniture has been honored as the Best Local Furniture Store in CityView Magazine’s annual Best of Des Moines awards, a recognition that celebrates the metro area's most beloved businesses and community favorites.

A Community-Driven Recognition

The CityView Best of Des Moines awards are determined by readers and residents who vote for their favorite local establishments across numerous categories. This year's recognition of Homemakers reflects the store's deep connection to the Des Moines community and its commitment to providing exceptional furniture, mattresses, and home decor to area residents.

"We're incredibly honored to receive this recognition from the Des Moines community," said Jason Merschman. "This award belongs to our entire team who works tirelessly to help customers create beautiful, comfortable homes. It's also a testament to the loyalty of our customers who took the time to vote for us."

A Des Moines Institution

Located at 10215 Douglas Avenue in Urbandale, Homemakers Furniture has established itself as Iowa's premier destination for home furnishings. The expansive showroom features the state's largest selection of furniture, mattresses, and accessories, all backed by the company's best price guarantee.

What sets Homemakers apart is more than just selection and pricing. The brand has built its reputation on personalized customer service, knowledgeable, non-commission staff, and a genuine commitment to helping families transform their living spaces. Whether  furnishing a first apartment, upgrading a master bedroom, or redesigning an entire home, Homemakers provides expert guidance throughout the process.

Building on a Legacy of Excellence

This CityView award adds to Homemakers' growing collection of community accolades. In 2023, the company was named Urbandale Business of the Year by the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce, demonstrating consistent recognition for its contributions to the local business community.
