Starbuck's Rebuilds After Fire | Des Moines News

A devastating fire tore through Starbuck’s Drive-In in Nevada, wiping out its 70-year-old landmark—but the community refuses to let it go. Just two days after the blaze, Mayor Ryan Condon announced plans to clear the site using city funds, paving the way for a rebuild right where it stood since 1956. Tragically, the building was uninsured—renovation plans stalled after the previous owner’s passing, leaving the owners in need of every donation. Local heroes are stepping up: a designer is volunteering to create new blueprints, and with the RAGBRAI bike ride rolling through town on July 22, a fundraising booth is set to serve up food and support. Donations can be made at Availa Bank, by mail, or via Venmo and Cash App—all earmarked for the rebuild. This isn’t just about restoring a diner—it’s about keeping a beloved community heartbeat alive.
