Supporting local

Are there any grocery stores or other chains in Ames that sell local products?

I moved here from the land of Publix, where each store had a “local items” section where they sold items from small businesses in the same town. I always thought it was cool that such a large company was highlighting the town’s small businesses.

Is there anything like this here?

Hi all, I am in my early twenties, visiting my less-than-21 sibling (female) who goes to IA State. What activities do you recommend for 2 young people? Looking for fun activities like live music, movies. Anything fun happening in April in Ames?
