The owners of Curbin’ Cuisine in Ankeny are searching for a new owner who wants to take over their space at 1325 SW Oralabor Road.
What they’re saying: OwnerMisty Fontanini tells Axios that the birth of her first grandchild led her and her husband to want a change in pace.

State of play: While they search for a new owner, Curbin’ Cuisine will remain open, Fontanini says.

Flashback: They moved to the 3,000 square-foot Ankeny location in 2024 after outgrowing their longtime Beaverdale space.
- Ben’s Burgers was previously in the Oralabor Road location.
