Your Dream Business Belongs in Stuart
Start Here. Grow Here.
Whether you’ve pictured a boutique, a bakery, a shop with your name on the window, or a service business that finally gets its own address, Stuart has room for it. There’s more commercial space open downtown right now than we’ve seen in years, a town that shows up for the businesses it has, and a Chamber that will help you find the door.
Why Stuart?
Just off I-80 at exit 93. Des Moines is about 40 minutes east, Omaha a straight shot west.
Downtown storefronts on North 2nd Street and South Division are on the market today, from small shops to the Clock Tower building.
That includes the renovated First National Bank building at North Division and 2nd Street, the corner where Bonnie and Clyde robbed the bank in 1934, with its ground floor open for a commercial tenant.
Buildable ground sits right at the interstate interchange for anyone thinking bigger than a storefront.
A town approaching 2,000 people, with new homes going in and new businesses opening this year.
A Chamber, a City, and a regional economic development partner who answer the same message. Your note reaches all three.
Available Spaces
Stuart currently has space open for retail, service businesses like salons and cleaners, professional offices, and restaurants or cafes. The two buttons below open the current listings on LOIS, the site Iowa communities use for commercial property.
One thing to know: LOIS only shows buildings listed with a commercial agent. Some of the best space in town never gets listed. The Chamber knows the owners. If you don’t see what you need, ask us anyway.
