SCHEELS HISTORY
German immigrant Friedrich A. Scheele moves to Sabin, Minnesota with his wife Augusta and their children, Margaret and Frederick M., who help plant potatoes on their 3 acres of land. These were the seeds from which the SCHEELS legacy would grow. With $300 earned from the first harvest, he places a down payment on a small hardware and general merchandise store.

In 1991, SCHEELS converted from family ownership to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP. This plan empowers every associate as an employee‑owner and gives them great pride in the success and growth of the company. Today, SCHEELS remains 100% employee‑owned and is one of the largest ESOP companies in the USA.
