We’re heading to Des Moines for this month’s ! 📣 👏

Thanks to their exemplary services, the Des Moines crew earned the Store of the Year title for 2023.

“We always go above and beyond for our customers,” said GM Don Stoeckel. “Even people traveling through tell us they will be back.”

They’re one big family in Des Moines who’ve worked together for a long time. Especially Deb Mark who’s been there for more than 30 YEARS! 🤯

Fun fact: The team once worked on an Oscar Meyer Weinermobile! 🌭

There are lots of places to explore in Des Moines, but you’ll likely find the team eating ribs at Smokey D’s Barbecue.

Great work, team!

Our Story

Bauer Built, Inc. was founded in Durand, Wis., in 1944 by G.F. "Sam" Bauer. The focus of the company, in its beginning, was to sell petroleum products to local service stations and farm accounts. However, very early on, the company got into retailing by opening its own gas station. The growth over the years has been in the tire industry, initially selling tires from the gas stations and then getting into the wholesaling and commercial sales and service of tires.

It was 1953 when we started selling retreaded tires and in the following year we started manufacturing retreads. This was significant as it has evolved into one of the most important aspects of our business today.

In 1976, Sam sold the majority of his interest in the company to his sons and sons-in-law and turned over the day-to-day management of the company to them. Sam ultimately retired from full-time duty in 1980 and passed away in 1994 after 50 years of service and dedication to the company. Under the second-generation leadership the company continued to grow and expand by acquiring tire centers, retread manufacturing facilities, and wholesale distribution centers across the Midwest.

We are one of the largest Tire Dealers and Retreaders in North America. Bauer Built has almost 40 different operating entities including the Bulk Oil Business we started with in 1944, 38 Commercial and Retail Tire & Service Centers, 6 Retread manufacturing plants, and 3 Wheel and Rim Refinishing operations located in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.

With headquarters in Durand since inception in 1944, we are centrally managed with all of our support services housed and centralized in Durand.
