Scheels, in the Legends at Sparks Marina, is billed as the world's largest all-sports store. Scheels is 295,000 square feet and two floors of virtually the entire range of sports equipment known to man. It is divided into individual boutiques and shops, each specializing in areas such as shoes, golf, hunting, fishing, biking, skiing, water sports, running gear, fashion sportswear, and lots more. There is also a deli and fudge shop, a service shop for your sports equipment, and the signature feature of this Scheels store, a 65-foot operating Ferris wheel.
