Scheels All Sports - Corporate Headquarters - Fargo, ND - Flags of Organizations on Waymarking.com

Frederick A. Scheel, a German immigrant and farmer earned $300 in 1902 from his first potato harvest. Mr. Scheel put is earnings down on a small hardware store in Sabin, MN. The store did well and Frederick opened Scheels stores in some of the surrounding communities.

Today, Scheels is Employee Owned and stores can be found in 27 cities, in North Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Nevada, Utah, Kansas, Colorado, and Texas.

Scheels, one of the largest sporting goods stores in the United States is Employee Owned, but Steve D. Scheel, the great-grandson of Scheels founder and his son Steve M. Scheel are the Chairman of the Board and CEO.

When my family moved to Fargo, ND in 1976 the two Scheels stores in town had pennants with a single capital "S" lining the roof in the front of the buildings.

Today, the Scheels' flag has a white background with "SCHEELS" printed in red, capital, block letter in the center of the flag.
