An old Gordmans on Des Moines' east side is slated to become a storage unit, but residents say they'd prefer something else. Heather Chamberlain, a long-time east Des Moines resident, has been leading a petition both online and door to door to stop the development, saying it isn't what east siders deserve. In total, she's collected nearly 1,400 signatures. "We need a Fareway or a Price Chopper over there," Chamberlain said. "Not another storage unit." The old Gordmans, located at 2590 Hubbell Ave., closed early last year and has remained vacant ever since. It wasn't until March that the building was approved to be converted into a storage unit by the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
