    Scheels is a fun sporting goods store filled with attractions.
    Joy B.

    Imagine a sporting goods store with a Ferris wheel inside. Then, there is a glass aquarium that surrounds you with live fish swimming around. Next, there is a beef jerky bar and a bowling alley...This is eye candy for the consumer. The store has almost any sporting goods you can think of from golf to soccer. Then, you have found Scheels. Service was good. Although, we didn't buy anything we were offered help several times. The prices were high, but the quality of the sporting equipment and clothing was very well made. I definitely look forward to coming back to Scheels and spending more time shopping around.

    This isn't a store. It's a whole attraction in itself! Walking into the Scheels at Grandscape felt less like "running errands" and more like entering a Texas-sized amusement park that also sells everything you could ever need. This place is huge--two floors of sporting goods wonderland with a giant fish tank arch on the first floor! There are tons of Texas and Dallas Cowboys-themed photo ops, a literal Ferris wheel inside the store, and a massive café with food options, beef jerky bar, and tons of fudge and candied nuts. Bonus points for the staff--everyone I came across was genuinely kind, helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to be there :)

    Back here to update my review as we returned just a few after our last visit. I'm impressed by all of the selections here. Mind you, items are not cheap here at Scheel's. What made it five stars this time? We discovered the mini arcade that had free racing games! It's awesome to have a few things for the kids to check out while shopping. The fish tanks, Ferris wheel, and taxidermy animals are all just a bonus for free entertainment.

    This store is amazing. We stopped in during a visit to the Dallas area and was blown away by this store. The store itself is huge, and they have an enormous selection of sporting goods, fan gear, and clothing options. Not just locate market items, but they offer selections for all fan bases. All the staff we encountered were super helpful and knowledgeable. The pricing is equatable to other sporting goods stores. Hope they open one in Houston soon. They have a cafe inside, but we didn't eat there so I can't say anything about the food. The restrooms were clean. Parking - sufficient surface parking.

    I think what GS meant to sing was "All my excess lives in Texas"...and this Scheels location is the inspo. I have resisted visiting this store because their ad campaigns centered around a cookie cutter conservative fam with a sprinkle of kountry bonding over the deer they just shot did not appeal to me. A quick internet search will tell you more about their company culture. But, cut to me day drinking at Truck Yard and dinner at Hard 8 with visiting fam and it was either axe throwing, cigar bar, or retail therapy. I haven't been overwhelmed by a sporting goods store since the Bass Pro Pyramid in Memphis which has its own hotel and shooting range inside. Scheels is on par with a working ferris wheel, an aquarium, a candy store, a cafe, and to complete the collection: animatronic talking Nolan Ryan that equals the creepy museum mannequin vignettes so close to my heart. Add all of the weapons, comfy sportswear, next level BBQ/grill/smoker selection, plus exercise equipment and Scheels would be my first choice to be trapped in during a zombie apocalypse. Rule #1 = Cardio. Also, there is every kind of camo, and as a returning Texas resident, it will always be part of my wardrobe. Interesting collection of bronze statues out front. Everywhere you turn, IG paradise. Employees were kind and helpful, and prices were competitive.

    A sporting goods store gets 5 stars? Absolutely!! This place in a word is just fun, the Ferris wheel, the beef jerky bar, the mini restaurant. Love the firearms section too! They have an incredible grilling section, a shooting gallery, and higher end athleisure wear like Vuori! It's a good thing that this place is 300 miles away from me, otherwise it'd be here all of the time!

    We're here in Texas for the Cotton Bowl, in support of University of Miami. Unfortunately, Scheels doesn't have any love for University of Miami. There was apparel for other college teams available, to include the other team playing in the Cotton Bowl, but none for Miami. I also think the Scheels in Reno is much nicer. It was a waste of time to come here!

    Huge store with Ferris wheel in it! Excellent athlete goods selection including fishing, kayaking, camping upstairs. The coffee shop was closed when we went. I was more impressed by the firearms selection. We did not purchase anything but the price is almost similar that of Brass Pro or Academy. Pleasant staff, clean and not chaotic. Great stop for families.

    Could be the best Outdoor / Sporting supply store I've seen. High quality clothing and supplies for any sport. Something for everyone. Plan on spending time so you don't miss anything.

    About a week ago, I was in need of some relatively minor gunsmithing. I had attempted to remove a…read moreflash hider that was really torqued on and believed I had loosened my barrel. Knowing that there can be issues if barrel/bolt face headspace gets off by too much, I decided it best to have a gunsmith re-torque everything to specs. I submitted a quote request via Yelp* and within a few hours I received three replies. The first came in at $40 for the fix, the second - which was Barnestormers - quoted $75, and the third just said gimme a call and we can talk about it. Riiiiight... Because Chuck of Barnestormers mentioned the possibility of my having sheered off the barrel index pin, I decided to go with Barnestormers. I figured that if I had sheered off the pin, I would at least be in good hands, thinking that Chuck is going to do a thorough check to make sure everything is as it should be. Chuck is friendly enough. He conducts his gunsmithing operations out of his garage which, as I shared with Chuck, reminds me of my own garage, wherein I place something and then can never find it! Chuck did find everything he was looking for when I was there and, while I could criticize his operation and seemingly disorganized workspace, I was grateful that he was cool with my being present while he worked on my AR. Foremost, let me say that Chuck completed the work on my AR in relatively short order and I am happy with the end result. That said, I was disappointed that as Chuck attempted to remove my barrel nut and delta ring, he damaged the barrel nut significantly by breaking off a tooth or two; really making it an ugly mess! The teeth on the barrel nut were damaged because Chuck lost control of the barrel nut wrench when attempting to loosen the nut. In his defense, the nut was seriously tight, but I think with a bit more care, he would have been able to remove the nut without actually damaging it. And, it probably wouldn't even have phased me, and I likely wouldn't even mention it here had he had a nut on hand (new or otherwise) to use as a replacement for the one he damaged. Or, since he did not have a barrel nut on hand - just in case... that he would comp some aspect of the parts and/or labor on my repair work. Instead, Chuck produced a complete new handguard with barrel nut included as a prospective solution, the acceptance of which would result in somewhat of a configuration change on my AR annnd an increase in costs. Because I did not want the damaged barrel nut put back on, only to end up feeling the need to replace it and incur further costs in the future, I opted for the new "furniture" and to have the issue solved while attention was being given and money being spent. Chuck quoted me $90 for the new, 10" UTG free float handguard, which I trusted and now know was a decent price. The main issue I take with my experience and the main reason for the less than stellar review here of Barnestormers is that, I calculated $75 for the labor and $90 for the new handguard. So, $165 out the door. And, while I did not specifically ask for it, I did make mention of being a disabled veteran and kinda hoped Chuck would feel compelled to offer a nominal price break for my military service to our country. But, when I asked for a total, Chuck said $200. Now, because I am the type of person who chooses not demean another man's worth, I paid the $200. I just felt that there was a bit of a bait and switch of sorts and that, if anything, there should have been a discount off that quoted for my being captively motivated to accept the new handguard and consequences of what I perceived to be Chuck's carelessness. In the end, each of us weighs different aspects of business differently and you very well may disagree with me on this one, but if you decide to go with Barnestormers Armory for your gunsmithing needs, consider yourself informed! I know for myself, I personally will shop elsewhere next time. Live well. Be well. Cheers!

I ordered the parts myself, but I wanted someone with more experience than me to put the rifle back together. Chuck got the rifle back together in record time. It came apart while he was demonstrating the repair & he had to reassemble the gun again. He accomplished this while I was there & made sure it was working correctly before I left. He did a good job, he was competent & friendly. I recommend his services & will use his service in the future.

    As a former employee who use to work here during the summer, I would like to leave some tips and…read morepointers to hopefully help anyone present or future. When calling the store... I am not sure why the phone system takes you back and forth with the calls and transfers, INSTEAD, next you call dial '0' (zero) and it will send you straight to the store phone with someone immediately, NO wait time! Wanting to buy an item but want to make sure they have before driving to location or could be the last in stock?... Again, when calling the store always dial '0' (zero) to be sent straight to someone who has the store phone. It was crucial a manager or team leader would have the phone and must answer at all times. Now say you want to be sure possibly the item you want is actually there, depending on the item they will transfer you to the department needed and an associate will try to check for the item straight away. (Best Tip: depending on item, it is best to have a "SKU number" handy, this will help them best see the item you want in the system and all details for it.) Questions for online, curbside, in store pick up orders... #1 rule at Academy, THEY CANNOT PUT ITEMS ON HOLD! They will always suggest to order online, why is it best? You order will have a 7 days period to pick up, after that it will go back on floor, payment amount will be put on HOLD, not charged, until AFTER COMPLETED pick up. If order is CANCELLED, simple reasons are the item(s) are they DO NOT have them. Regardless of what the system says, system/online is NOT always accurate. Better to call and verify. Now since order is cancelled, you will NOT BE CHARGED! Depending on bank, it will take 2-3 business days for the full refund. I will admit compared to other stores, the emails TAKE FOREVER to notify you that your order is ready/ been picked up/ or cancelled. Merchandise info... 3 trucks arrive throughout the week, they do not know what they will get UNTIL IT ARRIVES. So any questions about certain clothes, shoes, ammunition, grills, play sets, etc. won't be truly known until they receive shipment. Wanting items built, shipped, or delivered... Many times people wanted their bikes, grills, and even play houses built and be ready for pick up for a certain day. Depending on item, it can be built but there is a third party builder, meaning they won't always be there and if so it will only be once a week. Certain items can be shipped or delivered to home, depending on item there may be a shipping charge, like a playground set or even a grill. IT ALL DEPENDS ON ITEM & LOCATION! Having to wait a long time, or no one there to help... Since the pandemic, every business has been affected one way or another, either short staffed or illnesses. In this case, many people are hired by what they know or are only trained to do for the acquired job. Meaning someone taking care of the clothing department can't say they know everything and anything about certain guns or ammunition. Or a cashier knowing every bit of information about a certain bike or athletic gear. Waiting a long time to get help will be one of the following: someone for that department is busy helping a customer or another associate with some task request, short staffed or no one is there for that department, getting held up with customer after customer. IT HAPPENS, but please be understanding many places are SHORT STAFFED, so someone can't always help immediately or be there in 2.5 seconds. Really want to grab managers attention by how your experience went?... After every purchase, BOTTOM OF RECEIPT! A survey to let the store know how your experience was, if you received help and if so who? (Name of employee) Was there anything good/bad about your visit, if bad then how can store improve? THESE REVIEWS ARE SEEN BY MANAGERS EVERYDAY! So they truly MATTER, even if you go for a simple purchase of a cup to a cart full of items, this will let managers know what happened and how to fix it. If you guys experience any issues or questions let me know, I'll be more than happy to help. I'm just trying to pass along advice to help anyone in anyway.

    So tired of this place advertising items in stock just for them not to have it, not shopping this…read morelocation anymore
