Last year in Fort Dodge they where in the parking lot, the grassed area between the lot and street, and across the street in a competitors parking lot. Plus while we were in line out in the street waiting to park people were getting out of cars in front of us tired of waiting. By the time we got inside there were no carts so I used a wheeled hamper and no I didn`t buy it! lol . We stood in line for at least 45 minutes to check out!
