In December of 2007, Eden Prairie Scheels was awarded the STARR award for renovation/updating through the 2007 MSCA Shopping Center Tribute Award for Retail Real Estate. Entries are reviewed and judged by a group of industry specialists, professionals, and peers closely involved with retail real estate. Scheels was judged on its before and after story of the space, as well as the enhancement of the retail structure, including innovative design, construction approach, repositioning strategies, tenant mix, and integration into the community. Scheels is an employee-owned company and provides the best training in retail for its career associates. Our people make us special and Scheels associates are among the highest paid in retail, with outstanding benefits. Scheels also gives back to the local communities.
