Scheels retail sporting goods store has been recognized with two STARR Awards for outstanding projects in retail real estate and development from the Minnesota Shopping Center Association (MSCA).
The 250,000-square-foot store located at the Eden Prairie Center in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, was honored in two categories: new retail construction over 20,000 square feet and retail redevelopment over 10,000 square feet.
Built by the Madison office of Kraus-Anderson and designed by R.L. Engebretson Architecture, the $58 million store consists of two main stories of retail space with a 16,000-gallon saltwater aquarium, 45-foot-tall Ferris Wheel, wildlife taxidermy mountain, as well as a restaurant, candy shop and offices.
The new store also features a world-class golf shop, bike shop, ski shop, canoe and kayak shop, fishing shop, and gun and hunting shops. Ginna’s Café and Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory will serve gourmet soups and sandwiches, coffee and specialty drinks, and 24 flavors of homemade fudge.
