Opinion's of Sheels

[61Woody]

Have one here in town. Not as big or fancy at the ones in large cities but it does the trick. Retail prices but they have many sales , price match even internet prices and the staff is very knowledgeable, more so that our nearest Basspro/Cabelas. Plan on applying there for part time work when I retire next fall.

Employee owned and it shows when you go to one. It is one of my grandson's favorite store, but I think it is because of the inside Farris wheel more then the store itself.

I have been to the one in Salt Lake City several times. Was surprised to see a Ferris Wheel inside.

Very good selection of fishing tackle and lures but did not notice bargains.

Scheels has been around for 120 years... started 20 miles from my home in Sabin MN, they been in Fargo ND and Moorhead Minn long time, Fargo store is always busy I mostly buy reloading supplies at the store (they don't ship primers or powder) and watch for fishing stuff on sale and buy online.

I'm a big fan, but more for the shooting sports than fishing, reloading particularly. They have the best inventory of reloading supplies that I've ever seen in store. I've been to several in my travels, and always try to stop if I'm near one. The Tulsa store will be the closest to us when it finishes, and I'm sure I'll find a reason to wander over. I was hoping they'd build one in NW Arkansas, but looks like you Okie's won out on that one.

Oh yeah, they have a lot of fishing stuff too.

The way NW Arkansas is growing they should have on before long.

I like scheels way way more than bass pro…. I wish we had one down here…. Closest one I ever get to is Dallas….. the one in Billings mt is really cool but no bass stuff at that one.. I’ve been to another somewhere but can’t think where… been to the Dallas one most..

Scheel's is a great store! Wish they were closer than an hour+ in the metromess traffic. I visit about 1-2 a year and they usually get $100+ out of my wallet.

AWESOME store. Employee owned and good Christian conservative values.

Plus it’s not a giant cheap Made in China sellout like Bass Pro.

I did not read the first 3 pages but. Scheels is awesome with amazing customer service always enjoy going into the store. Like how they occasionally do no minimum free shipping also.

Typically better selection and price than Cabelas/Bass Pro in our area. However I would give up about any of them to get an Academy Sports.

Why is that? I've been in lots of Cablea's, BPs, Scheels and Academy stores. Academy is, by far, at the bottom of my list.

Never been inside of one but their website is identical to ACE hardware.

Now that’s an endorsement lol

[Justfishing]

They offer a lot of options. Golf, baseball/softball etc pro and college apparel

I have always been a fan of Scheels.

They seem to have a better selection than the other local big box stores like Cabelas and Fleet Farm.

I remember they were the first in the area to sell Rad Lures' Chatterbait. They didnt sell well then and ended up in clearance for .97 each. I remember buying a bunch and only a few years ago did I go through those originals.

You guys are getting me excited for the grand opening!

[LateralLine]

I just go to ride their Ferris Wheel!

[Bearetta]

Closest store to you will their store in The Colony.

Thanks Mark.

[freshwaterky]

Dealings with them so far have been great

[majorbanjo]

We don't have one near me, but spent a lot of money in the one in Fort Collins, Colorado when I was out working on Fire several years ago......Loved the store!

Just visited the new Sheels in Tulsa 2 hours ago. They are quite the mash up of a sporting goods store. In addition to more racks of clothing than a typical JC PENNY, they have a cafe, a candy store, an arcade, a toy department, a two lane bowling alley, furniture, home decor, pet supplies, high end smokers and grills the likes of which I've never seen anywhere, and of course the Ferris wheel. That's all without mentioning hunting, shooting, archery, shoes, exercise equipment, and kayaks. I must say that when I finally found the fishing department I was very impressed with how they organized everything. BPS could learn some things from Sheels.

I’d pick scheels over bass pro any day… I’ve only been to the ones in Billings mt and the colony by Dallas but I love it!!

*edit.. just noticed I’ve already commented on this.. oh well!!

Employee owned and it shows when you go to one. It is one of my grandson's favorite store, but I think it is because of the inside Farris wheel more then the store itself.

The one in Salt Lake City has a Ferris Wheel inside also. Never saw one in a sporting goods store before.

The stores have a wide selection of products and I would shop them if they were local.
