Scheels (/ˈʃiːlz/) is an American privately held, employee-owned and operated sporting goods and entertainment chain store headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota.

Scheels started adding a small selection of sporting goods to its stores in 1954.

Over the years, Scheels opened in surrounding communities, including Fargo, North Dakota.

Scheels' first all-sports superstore opened in Grand Forks, North Dakota, in 1989.

Iowa has four stores, which are located in Cedar Falls, Coralville, Sioux City, and West Des Moines.

Customers will enter the store under a 16,000-gallon aquarium, complete with a coral reef and scuba divers to feed the fish daily.

A 65-foot (20 m), 16-car Ferris wheel also will be in the store, in addition to sport simulators and a walk of U.S. presidents.
