Serving Des Moines since 1908, Hockenbergs Food Service Equipment and Supply features a retail showroom that Des Moines Branch Manager Dustin Tyler calls the company's "bread and butter." With booths, dinnerware and lifelike table settings, the showroom provides a realistic picture of what Hockenbergs' products would look like in a restaurant's dining area. The rest of the store contains appliances ranging from coffee makers to industrial-sized refrigeration systems as well as a full-service test kitchen. While Hockenbergs serves clients such as Applebee's, Caribiou Coffee and Taco John's, the building is open to the public for browsing and shopping as well.
Miss Wonderful is a vintage shop. Its inventory includes apparel and accessories, as well as furniture, most having been made by local designers and artists. Though it does not consign, the shop does purchase newer-used goods.
