Scheels announced plans to open a 250,000-square-foot store in Blaine, Minnesota in spring 2028. The location will be the company’s second location in the Twin Cities metro, joining Eden Prairie, and sixth in the state.
“Minnesota has always been a proud part of the Scheels story, and we’re thrilled to make Blaine the next chapter – a thriving community that aligns perfectly with our values,” said Matt Hanson, Scheels CEO. “This new location will be built specifically with the Blaine and surrounding communities in mind, from local experiences to expert service. We’re excited to continue our partnership with the city and BTCE, to give back to Blaine’s dynamic community, and create a lasting impact for years to come.”
The location is situated near the National Sports Center and TPC Twin Cities and will support more than 500 jobs. The store will feature Scheels’ signature attractions like the Ferris Wheel, Candy Shop, a 16,000-gallon saltwater aquarium filled with over 600 fish, a wildlife mountain, interactive arcade games, and a restaurant.
“We are excited to welcome Scheels to Blaine as part of a transformational redevelopment project,” said Blaine Mayor Tim Sanders. “This store will anchor a destination that offers more than just shopping. It’s about creating memorable experiences for residents and visitors through recreation, dining, and community connection.”
“Our mission at Scheels goes far beyond retail,” added Hanson. “We strive to be your trusted local partner, the place you turn for expert advice, great gear, and even a chance to celebrate your wins. Our culture is built on community, and that commitment drives the service our team delivers every day.”
