I had heard about Scheels for years but never stepped inside one. A friend of mine from Minnesota…read moreused to drive past the huge Scheels billboards whenever I visited, and for some reason I assumed it was more of a farm supply type place where people bought machinery and work clothes. Because of that completely wrong assumption, I never bothered to go in. Fast forward a few years and after reading the reviews here in Colorado I finally decided I had to see it for myself. Yesterday, March 6th, the weather was miserable. Cold, windy, light snow and rain. Not the kind of day you want to be outside, let alone skiing. So I figured it was the perfect day to finally give Scheels a try. I ended up spending five hours in the store and taking more than 250 photos, and this place absolutely blew my mind. There were sports and equipment sections I didn't even know existed. The store truly has everything you could possibly need and then some. What impressed me most was the staff. They were knowledgeable and helpful but didn't hover every five seconds like some stores do, which allowed me to really explore and absorb everything. The shoe selection was outstanding with every kind of running shoe, ski boot, work boot and outdoor footwear you could imagine, and the shoe staff were clearly well trained helping customers. I also spent about 45 minutes in the luggage section, which was surprisingly impressive. It's clearly a curated department run by someone who truly understands travel. I spoke with a luggage specialist who I believe is from Asia and a serious world traveler herself. She was incredibly knowledgeable and immediately understood what I meant when I told her I was tired of hard-sided luggage and wanted something built for an active lifestyle. She introduced me to a beautiful 100-liter Patagonia rolling duffel with durable wheels, strong zippers, and soft-sided construction that can actually handle real travel. These types of bags come with lifetime guarantees on the wheels and zippers, and now I'm officially saving my pennies to buy one. The store itself was alive and buzzing with families, couples, hunters, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. The only section that felt a little thin was the women's golf apparel where most of the XS sizes were gone, while the men's golf section was very well stocked. Parking was plentiful and easy. Scheels isn't just a sporting goods store. It's an experience.

Colorado gifts, Denver broncos, nuggets, and avalanche collectibles. Hunting, fishing, guns, ammo, knives, barbecue supplies, a sportsman's dream come true.

I recently…read moregot into hiking and plan on doing the Colorado Trail this summer, so I've been slowly gathering the gear I need -- and this store is a dream for anyone who loves the outdoors. The moment I walked in, I could tell this place was different. The employees don't just sell gear... they actually do the activities they're talking about! They're extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, and genuinely excited to help. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, they make you feel welcome. The store itself is huge and so well organized. They have every brand of sleeping bag, tents of all kinds, the cutest and most functional outdoor clothing, and tons of boots and hiking shoes. Their sales section is great too -- lots of solid deals. They also offer a membership for $30 that comes with discounts, perks, and a bunch of benefits that easily pay for themselves if you're active outdoors. But even if you're not a member, the gear is still top-notch and worth buying. If you snowboard, ski, bike, hike, camp -- honestly, any outdoor activity at all -- REI has you covered. I'm officially obsessed, and this will definitely be my go-to store as I prep for the Colorado Trail!

The nice blonde "roamer" as well as the young lady in the Chicago Bears at the front were great! In the end, Erin suggested canceling the order and purchasing it at the Broomfield location, which I did. Even so, the Loveland staff went out of their way to assist.

Upon entering, I was amazed at how large the store was on the inside. They have everything from camping gear, winter gear, farming supplies, even home decor. My roommate and I were browsing and even found some camping accessories we've been wanting. This place reminds me of a rural version of Scheels. My friend and I were also on the hunt for a propane tank. When we found an employee who we thought would help us, we were passed on. Then when we finally got someone to help us, she lost interest and said she would be back and never returned. Needless to say we left empty handed on the propane. Next up, checking out. I felt that I was interrupting the woman who was checking us out by asking her help with the process. At some point she tried to make us go to the opposite end of the store to check out. It's a shame customer service here is lackluster. The store is pretty neat, but the employees leave much to the imagination. I don't believe I will be back anytime soon.

Extra Mile told me it would be ready the next week, Friday, I think. It was ready early. They did more than we expected. We purchased a bike rack on Amazon (more later). We are RVers and went on a road trip. Our bike rack broke, it was a bad design. Got authorization for refund from Amazon, since a replacement (like for like) or refund only options. So I called Extra Mile. Ultimately Caleb told me about Hollywood Racks and quoted me the same price that they sell for online. I ordered the Hollywood RV Rider from Extra Mile and Caleb estimated a delivery for the next Wednesday. He called on Tuesday and when I got to the store, they had assembled the rack, put it on our truck and showed me how to use it. That to me and my wife is home run!
