Scheels All Sports says it will open its first Arizona store in Chandler this fall. The company is taking over the shuttered Nordstrom store that closed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The company says it will need 400 people to man its 250,000 square foot megastore.

The sports retailer will sell a variety of items from more than 75 specialty shops, including clothing, hunting and fishing gear. Scheels says its going all out for the Chandler location, adding an indoor Ferris wheel, a 16,000-gallon saltwater aquarium with over 600 fish, mini bowling, arcade games, interactive card games and a café that serves gourmet sandwiches and soups.

The company, which is based in North Dakota, has more than 30 stores nationwide.
