Home decor, fashion store heads to Main Street

A new retailer is coming to Marshalltown’s Main Street.

Home decor and fashion franchise Real Deals will soon call 122 E. Main St. home with an opening date yet to be announced.

Real Deals specialty store features affordable women’s clothes, accessories and home decor. The company has stores located across the country, including Ankeny and Cedar Falls.
