“We recently purchased outdoor furniture and had a great experience. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and never made us feel pressured. They went above and beyond to show us different options and furniture configurations, helping us find the setup that best fit our space and needs. We appreciated their patience and expertise throughout the process. Highly recommend!”
“This place is great! My mom and I had an excellent experience with Jason (We think this was his name, sorry if we got it wrong!). He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I have chronic pain including an achilles issue and he was sure to find me all the shoes to choose from that would best fit my needs. Very happy with the pair I chose. Thank you!”
“Our salesperson was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped us find the right recumbent bike (not just the most expensive). We’re very happy with everything from in store sale to delivery and installation of our bike. 5 stars all the way!”
“Great selection of both used and new equipment. They offer skate sharpening and have knowledgeable staff to help you. They usually have a good sale on sticks and other things. Highly recommend!!”
“We went in with a plan.
“Just a basic, small carry pistol,” she says. Simple. Practical. In and out.
That was adorable.
Next thing I know we’re staring at an Heckler & Koch pistol with a red dot on it. German engineering. Precision. The kind of handgun that doesn’t whisper “self defense,” it announces “I have opinions about tolerances.”
It practically screamed, “Yes, I drive a BMW M during the week and a Porsche on weekends.” Which, honestly, felt on brand.
We’re almost done with paperwork. I’m mentally calculating adult responsibilities.
Then she sees it.
An Heckler & Koch rifle on the rack. Clean. Tactical. Price tag reading like it has its own passport.
She gives me that look.
You know the one.
Long story short, we did not leave with a “basic carry pistol.”
We left with two pieces of German mechanical art and a stack of paperwork thick enough to qualify as a short novel.
Scheels is dangerous. You go in thinking practical. You leave thinking, “Well… if we’re doing this, we’re doing it right.”
My wife now owns 9 H&Ks.
I just slide my card and nodded.”
“Customer service is great, selection was pretty good. I had a few things I would have liked to have tried on missing in my size that were in others. Overall a good experience with good deals.”
“People working there are very helpful and nice. I forgot my eye glasses in the fitting room and I don’t live in Minneapolis, they offered to mail it to my home address and free of charge. Thanks to them, I received my eye glasses today, very well packed and on time. Thank you so much for your help and kindness.”
“Famous Footwear on Marketplace Drive has been my go-to shoe store for the 1-1/2 years that we have lived in Rochester, MN. They have a great variety of shoes and socks for all seasons and occasions. I was very pleased that they carry men's size 13 in most styles, for my adult son (aka "Big Foot"). I buy shoes here for my granddaughter's birthday and other occasions, because fancy shoes are her favorite gift. I'm also happy that Famous Footwear has a loyalty program with customer discounts. And the staff are friendly and helpful.”
“Showed they had something online, but when we got there, we were told it hadn't been available for some time. However, we found a pair of shoes we wanted. A little disappointing that even though there was staff not busy with other customers we had to ask for help.”
“What a great experience- the staff that we dealt with Jess and the Aussie were great - they were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, attentive and most of all patient. Thank you so much - we will definitely be back when you find us a kayak”
