Editor's Review
Where Ya Bin in Clive, IA, is a mixed bag. On one hand, it offers a unique shopping experience that many find exhilarating. As Missy Dickson put it, "It looked like a treasure hunt, and it totally was!" She and others rave about the thrill of digging through bins stocked with overstocked goods from major retailers, often scoring items worth much more for just a fraction of the price.
However, the excitement can quickly dim for many. Complaints about cleanliness and organization are common. Deborah Poundstone bluntly states it’s an "absolute mess" and that it resembles a junk store. This sentiment resonates with others who expected a more orderly environment. Becca Bellman mentioned a lack of customer-friendly practices, with customers reminded about rules over an intercom, which feels off-putting rather than welcoming.
In essence, Where Ya Bin offers both highs and lows. It's a gamble that can lead to great finds or a frustrating experience. If you're ready to sift through what some call junk for potential treasure, it might be worth a visit, just don’t expect a typical retail vibe.

Five stars! I stopped in Clive for the night while driving from Colorado to Wisconsin and happened to see a video for Where Ya Bin before bed. It looked like a treasure hunt — and it totally was! I went on a Friday when all the new items were out, an...
Very odd place. The concept of it is great. The execution however, terrible. Went last week on 02/27 and nothing but opened junk and food lying around in the bins. “Reminder not to open packages” is announced on the intercom every 15-20 minutes, yet ...
Interesting experience but not as customer friendly as I had hoped. Customers are reminded rather briskly over an intercom system of the rules which include not opening boxes, no testing items without supervision and not allowing children outside of...
I've gone to Where Ya Bin four times now. They are located in what was previously a Toys r Us store. I have seen as many as 144 tray table bins out, all very full of items. I was there opening day ($10 day). I have to say I was most excited that the...
Wasn't at all impressed. I don't understand why people do business here. What is it that draws people to these places. The entire place is an absolute mess. Nothing is separated or sorted. Clothing could be put on racks. Books on shelves, Housewares ...
