The new Scheels is scheduled to open tonight at 5:00 p.m. Construction began Sep. 22, 2017.

“I’m looking forward to the new Scheels,” sophomore Braeden Bestmann said.

“I am excited for the new shoes.”

The new Scheels will include a restaurant, arcade games, a 16,000 gallon fish tank, a candy store as well as a toy store.

The new cafe is called Ginnna’s. They sell soups, salads, sandwiches, fudge and  specialty coffee/espresso. They’ve also added a Fuzzywigs Candy Shop. They sell an assortment of sweets like jelly beans, candy apples, Dippin’ Dots, and more. People are looking forward to the new shops and the new products.

The middle of the store showcases a ferris wheel that is 65 feet high with 16 cars. The location in Omaha has a ferris wheel as well, although the one in Lincoln is larger by 20 feet. They added the ferris wheel on Aug. 21. Each ride on the ferris wheel will cost $1 per person.

“I’m really excited for the ferris wheel,” junior Jordyn Daws said. “I’ve never been on a ferris wheel before.”
