What store does Des Moines need? Vote for your top 5

Linh Ta | The Des Moines Register

Show Caption Hide Caption Fast food chains' buzzword: Sustainability Chains like Starbucks, McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts are getting on the bandwagon to cutdown on packaging waste.

Some of you wrote love letters about Waffle House, complete with research about why the southern chain should migrate to Iowa.

Others left two-minute voicemails reminiscing Jack in the Box and the beauty of ordering tacos and cheeseburgers simultaneously from a drive thru.

This morning, I had the honor of chatting with a fellow reader about Golden Corral, which in his words, "It's one of the best buffets you can imagine."

On Friday, we asked what stores Iowans would like to see in Des Moines and you answered.

A lot of you wanted popular franchises from Chicago or retail stores from the west coast. A few of you lamented chains and wanted to see more local Des Moines establishments.

Personally, I want to cook delicious bulgogi in front of me at a Korean BBQ restaurant.

But thanks to your suggestions, we've made a list of the most popular comments.

Now, it's time to vote for your top 5 choices. Once you do, we'll give a call to the most popular ones. We'll ask why they're not in the best capital city in the world and what we need to do to bring them here.

So perform your democratic Des Moines duty and get voting.
