What the Iowa listings show

What we know these stores sell

We have classified what 14 of the 84 Iowa listings sell (17%), from what each store publishes about itself. The chips below the store list break that subset down. The other 70 are listed but not yet classified, and a store missing from a category has not been ruled out of it.

Where the listings sit

No single Iowa city holds much of the inventory. The largest, Des Moines, accounts for 9 of 84 listings (11%), against a median top-city share of 24% across the 51 state pages. Searching by city matters more here than in states where one metro carries the market.

How long these businesses have been trading

We have found a founding year for 11 of the 84 Iowa listings, and 6 of those have been trading since before 2000. The earliest is SPI Appliance Recycling Center in Des Moines, which dates itself to 1948. The other 73 listings publish no founding date we could find, so treat this as a floor rather than a count.

Which brands turn up most

We have read the websites of 21 of the 84 Iowa listings and recorded which brands each names. Across that subset the most frequently named are GE (13), GE Profile (11) and Whirlpool (11). This describes only the 21 crawled sites, not the whole state, and a brand appearing on a store site is not a guarantee of current stock.

Method. Each paragraph above is computed from this database when the page is requested, not written by hand, and every figure in it can be re-derived from the listings on this page. Where a paragraph compares Iowa against a national figure, that figure is the median across all 51 state pages rather than a pooled national total, which three large states would otherwise dominate. Nothing is claimed about the Iowa appliance market beyond what these listings show.

Who owns the Iowa market

77 of 84 listings (92%) are independents. The remaining 7 locations belong to 7 multi-location operators:

Operator In Iowa Nationally
Appliance & Furniture RentAll 1 7
Appliance Outlet 1 5
Appliance Warehouse 1 11
Ferguson Home 1 64
Grand Appliance and Tv 1 12
Ollie's Bargain Outlet 1 114
Warners' Stellian Appliance 1 5

Method. We hold no ownership records, so an operator counts as a chain when the same store name appears 5 or more times across our national database. That groups by name, so a chain trading under several names is undercounted and two unrelated stores sharing a common name are overcounted. It is a proxy, and we would rather publish it with its limits stated than not publish it.

Highest-rated stores in Iowa

12 of 84 listings, ranked by Google rating weighted by review count so a single five-star review does not outrank a long track record. Stores with no rating on file sort last.
