Unkl Ruckus's Smoking Emporium & Skate Shop

Unkl Ruckus's Smoking Emporium & Skate Shop combines a smoke shop with a skate shop under one roof in Des Moines. The store carries functional glass art from artists across the United States, along with skateboard decks, trucks, wheels, bearings, helmets and pads, and skate apparel. The smoke side also stocks vaporizers, rolling papers, and accessories for dabbing.

The shop is locally owned and has been operating since 2013 on Merle Hay Road. Gift cards are sold in store and online, and the shop runs a rewards program and events. Shipping and returns are covered on the website for customers who order online.
