Theisen's was founded in
1927 as Theisen Battery & Electric by Leo and Kathryn Theisen, and was located on 8th Street in downtown Dubuque, Iowa. In 1948 the company became the Theisen-O'Neill Tire Company, before being known as Theisen Distributing, and then assumed its current name of Theisen Supply, Inc.Initially based in Dubuque with one store, the company opened a second store in
Maquoketa, Iowa in 1957. During the 1960s and 1970s the company opened additional stores in Anamosa, Dyersville, Tipton, DeWitt, and Monticello. In 1979 Theisen's left the 8th Street store, moving the retail operation to its current location on Dodge Street (US Route 20 ). In recent years the company has expanded to new locations, such as Marshalltown and Cedar Rapids, relocated several stores to larger facilities, and built an addition on to the Dubuque store.
