History
Hawkeye Tack was started in 1994 by Don & Sherry Hansen, they bought some land accross from the Iowa State Fairgrounds and built the store, it was expanded in 1996 to it's present size of 7,000 sq. feet. Sherry had worked in a couple of western stores in the past and was running her own house cleaning business in the early 90's, Don was an accountant. They decided to find a different career for Sherry and a natural fit was something to do with horses. Sherry had been an equestrian since she was a child. The Hansens looked a purchasing a couple of businesses in central Iowa, but none were the right fit. So they started Hawkeye Tack. Don came to work full time in 1996. The store has enjoyed continued growth since opening right before the Iowa State Fair in 1994.
