Home of Economy

Automotive supplies to garden supplies, bake ware to outdoor-wear, tires to toys…. if you need it, Home of Economy has it at guaranteed lowest prices! Founded in 1939 in Thief River Falls, Minnesota by Bob Kiesau and his wife, Jean, Home of Economy was originally an auto parts wholesale business. In February 1940, Bob started a store in Grand Forks, North Dakota, recapping used tires at night and selling them during the day. In the years since, Home of Economy has grown to include stores in other North Dakota cities including Grafton, Devils Lake, Minot, Williston, Jamestown, and Watford City.
