Expansion Underway at Merchants

October 6, 2025

Real progress is being made on the expansion of the headquarters of Merchants Bonding Company™ in West Des Moines, Iowa. The project broke ground in late summer and much of the site prep is now complete, allowing for the next phase of construction to begin. Concrete is expected to be poured for the expansion's foundation within the next month, weather permitting. 

In the Zone

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

Growth Mindset

This expansion ensures space to support the growth mindset of Merchants, and will maintain the first class experience and collaborative culture that define the company. Merchants looks forward to welcoming more associates and more opportunities in this thoughtfully designed new space.
