Cedar Park to Welcome State’s Second Scheels

Construction on a new Scheels sporting goods store will start early next year at CedarView, a 117-acre mixed-use development near the 8,700-seat H-E-B Center. Along with a 30,000-square-foot convention center and a 250-key hotel, CedarView will also be home to a future 1.2 million-square-foot Nebraska Furniture Mart, which along with Scheels will anchor the property. The first Scheels store to open in Texas was in The Colony. It opened in 2020.

Scheels Cedar Park will comprise 75 specialty shops and family-friendly attractions such as a 65-foot Ferris Wheel, a 16,000-gallon saltwater aquarium, a wildlife mountain, interactive arcade games and sports simulators, a candy shop and a cafe.

Earlier this month, Scheels opened its first Arizona location (see photo), a two-level, 250,000-square-foot store in Macerich’s 1 million-square-foot Chandler Fashion Center in metro Phoenix. That store also features a Ferris wheel, arcade, cafe and candy shop.
