In August, Bomgaars celebrated its 80th anniversary. Since opening its first store in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1944, Bomgaars has grown into a trusted retailer with over 180 stores across 15 states, employing more than 6,000 people. As a proud family-owned business, Bomgaars is committed to continuing its tradition of offering customers what they need, when they need it — today and for the next 80 years.

 As part of the anniversary celebration, customers enjoyed five weeks of special promotions and giveaways, culminating in over $100,000 worth of sweepstakes prizes. The grand prize was a Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 Pickup, won by Matt Kenner of McCook, Neb.
