Company OverviewThree acres of potatoes were the seed for the first Scheels store back in 1902.Frederick A. Scheel, a German immigrant, used the $300 he earned from that first harvest of potatoes as the down payment on the first Scheels, a small hardware and general merchandise store, in Sabin, Minnesota. Over the years Scheels opened stores in communities surrounding Sabin, including Fargo, ND, where the Scheels Corporate Office is now located. Firmly planted in the hardware business, Scheels started adding a small selection of sporting goods to their stores in 1954. As interest grew, more and more sports lines were added with athletic shoes and clothing being introduced to Scheels' product mix in 1972. Scheels' first All Sports Superstore opened in Grand Forks, ND in 1989.
