Back in my University Iowa days (mid to late 1970s), this place was a real campus bookstore. We…read morealso had a poor football time (under Coach Bob Cummings), and branded gear was not as prevalent. I come to this Hawk Shop during my twice yearly trips to Iowa City, and with each visit, non branded gear sections get smaller and smaller. The class book section is still there, but hidden in the back. There's a graduate section, some digital items, and a little bit of stationary. The rest of the place is packed solid with Hawkeye Gear. It's all very nice, well curated, expensive, and obviously a big money maker. The University also seems a bit shameless in promoting this place, as I watched tour guide after tour guide during a recent visitation day, go out of their way to point to "Hawk" this Shop's wares. It must of have worked, as I lost count of all the yellow Hawk Shop bags I saw within the tour groups. And of course, I'm not immune either. I purchased a few things last week, and helped by a couple sales items and a gift certificate. It's great stuff to show off back home in Genoa Nevada. And when I return, who knows what I'll find.

This is where Play It Again Sports enters the picture. Until my kids stay in a shoe size longer than a few months, don't outgrow a bike in a summer or decide a sport is something they want to play a few seasons in a row-- I'd rather buy used and on the cheap. Our last trip in was for two bikes-- one for a four year old girl and another for a two year old boy. We left with two bikes: one girly pink and the other a boyish Iowa Hawkeyes. I was helped immediately. They showed me all the options, talked size and even installed new training wheels for me before taking them to the car for me. With ample parking, a friendly staff and an ever changing inventory of used sporting and exercise equipment this place serves its purpose. Since they rely on buying used equipment to then resell, their selection fluctuates so I recommend contacting them before going in. Cleats, soccer balls, baseball gloves, bicycles, rollerblades, frisbees -- you name it, they've got it for your little AND FOR YOU!

My favorite thing when I have time to kill downtown is walk past Iowa Book and window shop. They…read morehave the best corner in Iowa City where they showcase a wide variety of items. Locally owned, the shop boasts one of the largest selections of Hawkeye apparel and gifts downtown. As an Iowa City native, growing up my mom would frequently refer to it as Iowa Book & Crook-- their apparel is a bit overpriced, however they do offer a wide variety. The store, aptly named Iowa BOOK, does feature a large selection of books-- ranging from signed copies, textbooks to typical fiction/nonfiction reads. Their selection of office supplies is just what a student stopping in may need. (Students also probably appreciate that they do buy back books for cash, as well.) As a mom, I love their kid section downstairs with super cute Hawkeye apparel as well as knick knacks and toys you won't find anywhere else. Their Hawkeye gift selection is robust ranging from blankets to auto accessories, backpacks, frames, pet accessories, holiday decor, wallets-- the list goes on and on. If you want to find a Black and Gold treasure for that special someone, but don't know what to get-- just stop in and take a look. You'll for sure find SOMETHING.

I selected a sweatshirt off the rack and pulled it over my shirt on the sales floor to see if it would fit. after removing the sweatshirt shirt I mistakenly left the hanger on the rack and went to pay for the item. Doug said " Was there a hanger with this?" My wife responded that we must have left it on the rack. Doug got upset with her and with a very condescending voice and attitude said something along the lines of I guess I will go get it myself. I am assuming that this guy is the store manager but maybe wrong. On the website it lists the store manager as being Doug S. I understand that everyone has a bad day, but there is more. Upon getting to the store my daughter said that is the guy. She previously had a run in with the same guy. Earlier in the year she ordered text books online and thought she ordered them from Iowa Book. She went to the store to get them and Doug couldn't find the order. My daughter showed him the order confirmation and it was from the IMU instead. Whoops. Doug treated my daughter bad and made her feel like she was an idiot. This guy is a menace and should not be customer facing. If he treats customers like this imagine how he treats his employees. DO BETTER DOUG AND DONT PICK ON WOMEN! I went to the rack upon leaving and gathered the hanger, carried it back to Doug. I put it in his hand and shook my head. We will not be back as long as Doug is there and will definitely share our opinions with others.

My most recent visit here was after the holiday in December. The super small shop was packed to the brim with bustling people. I was amazed to see how much merch was crammed in the tiny store! (While I will agree with a previous review, it does not boast a massive selection of items.) I came in, browsed. Found what I wanted easily because of how organized the store is and went to check out. In and out. Easy peasy. Price is what you'd expect. The staff was insanely friendly.

How have I never reviewed Scheels?…read more I am grateful to have this location. With two kiddos that are active in a lot of sports, Scheels has come to the rescue a time or two. (Specifically, when I realized my son didn't have an adequate batting helmet for baseball mere hours before his first game of the season. I was able to order online and pickup no problem. He is insanely proud of his golden helmet, might I add.) This location expanded during the pandemic and has a ton! Hunting, biking, fishing, skiing,... a robust Iowa Hawkeye apparel section... shoes, apparel-- you name it! Honestly, my favorite spot to shop Scheels is online. I got some amazing Fornia clothes on clearance. My blazer I got is legit one of my favorite things and I spent less than $10-- what a steal! I also got some great Mud Pie Christmas decor super cheap online. It's open daily, parking is a non-issue. Staff is always so friendly and knowledgable. As I mentioned above, don't forget to order online easily for pickup.

When we came in, we had a few employees greet us and smile as they saw our little girl (honestly it's hard to be in a bad mood when you sees you because she is so cute and will turn your bad day into a much better one). Not expecting to really purchase anything in particular, we just walked around the store and browsed. This location sells Iowa University clothing, that can be found on the first floor. There is also a mascot statue of Herky The Hawk by the clothing section (an older version of this mascot). Upstairs, you can find rifles, binoculars, etc. But most importantly the dog section, in which our little girl was very excited to lead us to (although this is our first time visiting this location, she just knew where her section is). We let her choose what item she would like for us to buy her, which ended up being a resealable bag of dried salmon dog treats. At the register downstairs, this friendly employee had asked if our dog had picked out this item herself, lol. We laughed about it, as we told him yes she did. Overall, had a great shopping experience and would shop here regularly if I lived around this area.
