Located on 41st and Western Avenue, Scheels entered Sioux Falls in 1972 as South Dakota's largest all sports store. Scheels expanded in 2002, providing 120,000 square feet of retail shopping that showcases South Dakota's largest selection of sports, sportswear, and footwear under one roof.

Centered in the atrium is a 60 foot tall Oak tree created specifically by NatureMaker of California. The tree serves as a unique meeting place for everyone who enters the store. Unlike a typical sporting goods store or department store, the Sioux Falls Scheels is a collection of entertainment venues, as well as women's, men's, youth, specialty, and sport and game shops. Brand-name concept shops by Nike, adidas, Columbia, Under Armour and The North Face feature the best sport apparel products. Each shop is staffed with experts who are focused on their passions.

Special attractions include a beautiful, custom-built lodge that features Starbucks® Coffee, and unique home décor, themed gifts, and art to give your home a one-of-a-kind look. A "try before you buy" archery range allows our expert bow technicians to show you the latest in bow hunting technology. Test your skills at the Laser Shot shooting simulator where you can choose from several hunts.

The Scheels in Sioux Falls features boutiques ranging from technical running gear and the latest fashion sportswear to spectacular hunting and fishing shops. The sport shoe, hiking boot, and casual footwear selection is the largest in South Dakota with everything for toddlers to serious climbers, and selections ranging from beach sandals to fashion boots for women. Outdoor enthusiasts can experience world-class shops including golf, bike, ski, paddle, and sport and game shops. The gun and hunting shops will have the largest retail selection of guns in the region, ranging from everyday shooters to collectible guns valued at $20,000.

For passionate local sports fans, the Sioux Falls store has the largest selection of clothing, cups, flags, and hats to cheer on your favorite local college, high school and professional teams.

Scheels offers a complete Service Shop. From bike repairs and skate sharpening to ski/board waxing and racquet stringing, each Scheels store has an in-house service technician team to get your gear ready for the season. Our Barnett-certified technicians have received the best bike mechanic training in the industry, and are ready to use their skills to keep your wheels on the road.
