Scheels

I needed new grips and strings for two racquetball racquets, so a friend recommended Scheels. I found the repair area easily, and the employees I met were incredibly helpful. Bonus: when you buy a grip and/​or strings at Scheels, they install these things for free. That is AWESOME. Grips were done same-​day, and strings took a couple of days, which is understandable. This was a tremendous experience, and I definitely will be back.

Interesting place to kill a few hours, but prices are too high here to justify buying much, besides thier candied cinnamon almonds. Ferris wheel is slow but it’s a unique experience to have indoors. Saltwater aquarium is massive and cool to see, but sad when you notice so many fish are sick and damaged by territorial fighting.
Salesman are annoying and pushy.
Really, I’m surprised this place does enough business to support so many employees.

I went to scheels to kill some time. I found the staff were all very helpful and friendly. I enjoy the effort they put into making their facility fun for kids to go to as well with the aquarium and Ferris wheel. The clothing if a bit over priced for my taste. But there are clearances that offer some good deals occasionally. I wouldn’t go here regularly, but it had a fun atmosphere and friendly staff that make it worth visiting.

Rude and Condescending, walked out, I guess if you do not look the part your not welcome. Yeah went to the Camping dept, two tents tied to the ceiling, asked for help, got stared down, got pointed at and told «go over there» really Josh, your almost belligerent. Anyway, went to CABELAS, drop $ 3500. on camping gear, ammo and a new handgun. I hate sales people who PRE-​Judge and give me the I’M so much more Holier then you attitude. This FAILURE goes out to many many people you pompous ass*

Scheels is an interesting place. It’s huge. It has such a crazy variety of outdoor gear that you will be leaving with way more than you ever intended to buy.
My most recent trip, an attempt to kill an hour because I didn’t want to drive home and back to the area over two or three hours involved the following impulse buys… a disc golf disc, a hackey sack, and a gun.
Over the weekend I had talked with my girlfriends brother-​in-​law about good guns for concealed carry and he suggested the Ruger LCP .380. I was wandering around the store, noticed they carried it for a good price, and it came with a cool custom red trigger, so I decided to pick it up. The staff was very helpful in talking to me about the gun, letting me handle it and get a feel for it, and filling out all the paper work. As it was the end of the day the background check had to wait until today and I was then able to pick it up early this morning. I was impressed with how quickly they had it ready for me, it was within 30 minutes of the store opening.
Their disc golf selection is huge, but unfortunately mostly overpriced. They have tons of brands, Innova, Discraft, MVP, and even a few Dynamic, Millennium, and DGA discs. They have practice baskets available, lights, starter sets and more. The cheap Innova plastic is reasonable at $ 7.99 a disc, but the Champion and Star plastics (and their respective versions in the other brands) are a complete ripoff. $ 21.99 for a Champion disc is insane. You can find these for $ 14.99 or less anywhere else in the state. As a player that buys a couple discs a month, I would only consider buying DX plastic here. It’s unfortunate because they do have such a great selection and really cool dyes and stamps. I picked up a DX Thunderbird with a rainbow stamp for $ 8 though and that was it. A fair warning on their starter packs… they charge $ 30 for it when it only contains 3 $ 8 DX discs that you can literally just select from the racks right next to it. You’re seriously paying $ 6 more just to have the discs wrapped up in plastic and a box.
My hackey sack was $ 6 and seemed like a good deal. It was the kind I always wanted in Jr. High. They actually had a surprisingly good selection of hackey sack stuff… I wonder if anyone still plays…
Overall it’s a great store. I give 4 stars because of how helpful and prompt they were with the gun purchase as well as the gun price. They get a pass on the disc golf stuff as the DX is a good price and they seem to support the sport decently with signs showing where all the nearby courses are. They carry a huge, diverse selection, but they really need to lower their prices.
It’s definitely a unique store that is worth a check out.

This place is overwhelming to me. It’s absolutely enormous and I’m not sure what they sell. I mean, they sell «sports related items» basically, but they also sell camping and hunting supplies, including a huge supply of guns and archery equipment, they sell ladies fashionable handbags, have a wide shoe selection where many of the options aren’t sporty at all. They sell basketball shorts and yoga pants as well as jeans. They have equipment from all major sports as well as outdoor activities. It’s two levels, they have a small bowling alley, climbing wall, Ferris wheel, pinatas, clowns, live music by Sting, and I’m pretty sure Obama was there last week. My wife got a $ 150 giftcard from work, and even after looking at all this crap that they offer, she left after only spending 75 bucks of it on rain boots and a cast iron pan. I don’t need 50 dollar gym shorts to work out. I use the same ones I’ve had since high school and I’m good to go. But I’m sure this place really does it for a lot of people and for that it gets it’s 4 stars. Not 5 because I do when you shop here, you’re only getting the newest stuff, and you absolutely pay a premium for that, that I’m not interested in.

I shopped here today, Black Friday. I’m not a black friday fan, but saw some really good deals and decided to try anyway. There were plenty of employees around and available and willing to help. Jason M. who worked near the knives and binoculars showed me some beautiful knives. I wasn’t standing there for more than 10 seconds without him coming up to ask if I was finding everything okay. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I was also looking for the eTrex bundle. I couldn’t remember where the GPS units were in so I asked a guy near the bows. He walked me over and knew everything about them. Kind of a jerk move for me but I forgot his name. Just wanted to give him some credit. He noticed I had a metal detector in the cart as well and he knew a lot about it too. I tried doing some online research about different detectors and it was just way over my head I just decided to bite the bullet and just buy one. What he told me about the specific one I had was everything I wanted. Lucky guess for me, and I’m glad you was able to educate me more about it. He was very knowledgeable and also very friendly. When I was at the checkout I wasn’t in line for more than a minute and a half even though it was crazy busy. The cashier is very friendly as well. *bonus free plush puppy*

Very fun store. Lots to look at and even has a Ferris wheel inside! A great place to find sport goods and outdoor activity appliances. It has 2 floors full of things to look at. There are games for kids to play with.

Omg!!! This place is incredible! Think «Disneyland meets REI meets Nordstrom» because it was the strangest but coolest place I’ve been to!
My roommate’s bf recommended to my bf and I to go check out the place because it’s super fun! I kept thinking…“how fun can a sporting goods store be??” Boy, was I surprised!
Upon walking in, you’re greeted by a huge triple-​arched aquarium filled with colorful fish and décor. We came at just the right time because there was a scuba diver in the tank feeding the fish! What the heck?!?
Keep walking forward and you see a ferris wheel… that’s right, I said a ferris wheel… IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORE! This place is absolutely ginormous with tons to do and see! Each section of the store is divided by sport/​activity and there are interactive things to do in most sections. For example, there is mini putting area in the golf section, an arcade-​style shooting game in the hunting area, and even a mini bowling alley! As you make your way to the second floor, you’ll smell the amazing aroma of fresh candied nuts and popcorn. On the second floor, they have this giant mountain of stuffed taxidermy, which was by far the coolest thing I’ve seen!
Didn’t really shop around because we were too busy having fun, but just glancing at the prices, it seemed like any other sporting/​outdoor goods store. The ferris wheel only costs $ 1 to ride and you get a good 6 rotations on it… it goes pretty high up too! There is also a section that sells modern street wear. You can complete the look with accessories from the handbag area, right next to the ferris wheel.
Spent a good two hours there. Take the significant other or kids because you’re bound to have fun! Just remember to take dollar bills for all the games and stuff.

Pretty good variety of stuff but nothing really specialized. BUT there are way too many staff and they know absolutely nothing about what they are selling. It makes wandering uncomfortable. Employed returned missionaries lurk around every corner waiting to asking to help even though one (that looks exactly the same) just asked you the 10 feet before. But then you decide to take you up on the offer and ask them something and they have no idea but even worse is that they pretend they do. They could really drop their prices if they had ¹⁄₃ of the staff walking around. If you’re a fanatic about your sport and know a lot about it but have a specialized questions. This is NOT the place (get it? staffed with missionaries… ha!). But if you do want a camouflage sheet set to match your camo wallet and camo jacket for your dog, then you might dig it.
On top of that, they are overpriced compared to the local competition. We go once per year to ride the ferris wheel and browse on a bad weather day then go over to REI to actually make a purchase.

Didn’t do much here, I was here as a presenter for a work meeting. I didn’t buy anything, only because I have to fly home and don’t have room in the luggage, but boy do I wish we had one of these places in the Los Angeles area. From the limited time I spent here, they seem to have everything and I mean everything here, right down to a Ferris wheel in the middle of the store. They have a large conference room for corporate meetings and they even catered our event, which they did a great job at. Everyone seemed very friendly and the store itself was very organized and clean. I could spend a who day here.

Christian Y. is the friendliest and coolest Ferris Wheel operator ever! He is the perfect man for the job.
Oh the tastiest toasted cinnamon almond, pecans, and cashews ever! I love the cinnamon toasted cashews the best.

Love — the products, variety and sheer volume/​selection you have on any given item/​department. The location is great, the kids love this store, the food is meh but the fish tank is awesome. There are so many good things to like about this store.
Hate — the people in some of the departments (women’ section and the dressing room supervisors i.e. security guards). The last two times we’ve been to Scheels and have visited this department my wife and I have been appalled. Absolutely the worst customer service we have experienced at a sporting goods store. We of course let a manager know of our experience and it was the typical «I’ll tell you that we’re sorry but you know what we really don’t care.»
I would rate the service a 1 star, products/​selection 4 – 5 stars so I’ll go with 2 stars overall. It seems the customer service training/​hiring is going way downhill. Fix that and this place could easily go back up to a 4 – 5 star place.

This place is huge! We stopped in to get some steps, not really knowing what to expect, and we’re totally amazed by all the things they have inside, they have a ferris wheel in there! Tons of exercise equipment, and a mini bowling lane. They have a lot of camping and hunting stuff and a little café. Very cool little family outing spot to shop.

WHOA this place is nuts! From ferris wheel, to mini aquarium, food court… this place has it all!
We have a Bass Pro Shops in California, but Scheels definitely takes it up a notch. Anything sports/​outdoors related, you’ll find here at Scheels. Good place for the kids.

What can I say that hasn’t been said?
They have everything. The store is great looking. Its huge! There is a fish tank that is a massive archway. Any sport you can think of and they have the gear. Guns? Yep.
So all of that can be expected at such a large sporting goods store. The thing that struck me is the massive amount of Under Armour gear they carry. Its like they are an Under Armour store that also sells everything else.
Also the prices. They are expensive. But with all that space and staff they have a large over head. This is passed on to the customer. That’s to be expected. Is it worth it? Maybe if you find what you are looking for. Can you get stuff cheaper? Yes with out a doubt.
I don’t have kids yet but when I do I expect I’ll take them there for the feeling of going somewhere entertaining without actually having to spend much if I don’t want to. Although I have never left there without dropping a bill or two.
Its a must visit store. Its not a must shop at store though. Those are just my thoughts.

Are you at a sports store? Or are you at an amusement park? Are you buying sports equipment? or are you bowling? You, my friend, could just be at Scheels. Visible from a good mile down the freeway, this towering sports equipment store has everything, and I mean everything, related to sports. Triathlon gear? got ya covered. Looking to develop your second amendment rights? They have a legit gun section. Want to ride a ferris wheel??? (yes…you read that right) yeah, they have that too.
This place is awesome. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I was disappointed that they didn’t have many sales. That sale rack that’s in the back corner of nearly every clothing or sports store? Yeah, not present here. That said, their selection was top notch. Even if you don’t buy anything, this place is worth stopping by.

Kind of love this place because they have a ton of gear for every sport. The ski section if full of the very common brands but little as far of creative selection. North Face, Columbia and Mountain Hardwear were the big brands they carried.
If you have kids they do have a ferris wheel and a bunch of places to eat.
I did check the gun room and they had a big selection but frankly I would rather buy my guns at a locally owned store.

SANDY, UT: So, five stars means the absolute best you can find in the genre, and Scheels delivers on every point the absolute best you can find anywhere in sporting goods:
1. Every Sport? Check. You can get gear for about any sport except maybe curling
2. Outdoor Gear? Check. Lots of REI and Cabelas type stuff.
3. Experiential Shopping? Check. Snack bar, giant aquarium, and a Feeris wheel. This place rocks for an outing.
I guess it’s a little on the pricey end. What do you expect for awesomeness?

Love this place! I believe you could find just about any sporting good that you would ever need at Scheels. From Oakley Sunglasses to rifles. From running gear to lawn darts and literally everything in between.
One of the things I like most is the knowledgeable associates in the different departments. Most that I’ve talked to have real experience with the items they’re representing and good at giving me good input regarding the merchandise without feeling like I’m getting a pressured sales pitch.
Great customer service. My son purchased cleats for football in August but decided a few weeks later he preferred another brand. We did present a receipt for the transaction and a refund was promptly made.
I don’t compare prices very well so I can’t speak to value but I can confirm that they have lots of cool stuff! Including a giant farris wheel. Great place to spend an afternoon seeing the sights.
