Scheels recently opened a new store in Sparks NV. Per their web site Sparks is their furthest west store so far. They are carrying a large inventory of Trek bikes but it has not yet caused any of the other local dealers to drop the Trek line that I know of. The store is huge and I find it kind of strange to have such a large sporting goods outlet in a relatively small metropolitan area.
We actually now have two very large sporting goods outlets in the Reno/Sparks area, Cabelas and Scheels. They, or the crappy economy, have put some smaller sporting goods stores out of business. I can only figure that they are partly aiming at the tourist trade who visit Reno though Vegas would seem to be a bigger market if that is the case.
