Expansion Underway at Merchants

October 6, 2025

The Merchants Bonding Company™ Board of Directors and Executive Committee gathered for the ceremonial groundbreaking of the expansion of Merchants’ headquarters in West Des Moines, Iowa. With hard hats and shovels in hand, the team turned the first soil on the site of a 30,000-square-foot addition, marking a new chapter in the company’s ongoing growth.

In the Zone

What’s it like to work in an active construction zone? That question was top of mind when Merchants selected Graham Construction—a partner known for expertise in working within occupied spaces. Every effort is being made to minimize disruptions for associates, as headquarters operations will continue throughout the build.

Site preparation is complete, paving the way for the next phase of construction. Concrete for the expansion’s foundation is expected to be poured within the next month, weather permitting.

 

Room to Grow

The new space reflects the company’s ongoing investment in its people and culture. Designed with flexibility and collaboration in mind, the expansion will support Merchants’ growing team and ensure the first class experiences that define the company remain at the forefront.
