DAY BY DAY MERCANTILE

Nestled in the heart of Bellevue, Iowa, Day by Day Mercantile is more than just a local shop - it's a vibrant hub for unique gifts, home goods, and community connection.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Sierra Steines opened her store recently in 2025. She has always had the dream to open her business with a motive behind it. Her grandma always told her growing up "take it day by day". That is where her store name originated from. Walking into her store, you will not only see the variety of product she carries, but also the meaning behind it all. Right behind the counter she honors her grandma to show everyone they need to take it day by day just like she always shared.

THE MERCANTILE MARKETS

Sierra started a bi-weekly market this summer. She wanted to utilize this time to bring in different businesses throughout town and bring the community their own little market. To see the people she loved come and support her and the businesses she brings in means so much to her. Sourdough by Megan and Ella & Rose Blooms are two small businesses that you can see at almost every market. Buy some flowers, a shirt, and a sweet treat all at one place! Not only is it about the businesses who participated but the ones who surround her as well. Every partnering surrounding business runs a discount during the time of her market. Some of the familiar businesses include Offshore Bar & Grill, Sweet Boutique, Prost, The Hotel, and many more!

WHAT DAY BY DAY HAS TO OFFER

The Day by Day Mercantile carries a variety of products throughout their store. Ranging from women's clothes to decor for your home, you can find almost everything in this small local shop located right in Bellevue, Iowa. Sierra uses her new business opportunity to connect and help the community. She makes various donations to a choice of organization supporting different groups throughout the town. It is not only about the business, but she wants to make it a space where the community also feels welcomed and loved.
