“Tyrol has been one of the best shops in Rochester for decades! I have been getting my ski equipment there for over 30 years. Exceptionally knowledgeable, and friendly staff and great selection.”
“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.”
“Ryan was super knowledgeable and super patient!! I take a LONG time deciding on shoes and I’m usually unlikely to return to a store if I am made to feel bad about being indecisive or feel like the person is rushing me, which was definitely not the case here. I would highly recommend Terraloco and Ryan, and I will definitely return for my future shoe purchases!”
“Very helpful young lady. She was from my home town ?. She answered all of my questions and stayed a " bit" after closing to let me look at the equipment and ask the questions. Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“I've been into Sports HQ 4 times this week, and each time has been a wonderful experience. The staff are truly there to help you get exactly what you're looking for. They don't make you feel rushed, or pressured to buy if you're unsure. There is a good variety of products to choose from, at a pretty fair price point as well. Our family loves ice sports, and Sport HQ is our go to!”
“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”
