"We want to thank Nick Hoerr and the bike team at Great Falls Scheels for helping us get the right bike for our needs.

"So much bigger than the scheels in Minot or Bismarck locations. It had way more to look at and potentially purchase; making it so much better to shop in person rather than finding what you couldn't online, as i had to do a few times for the other locations I've been too, cause they had the items in stock. The staff were so polite; always walking up to you asking if you needed help with something, and it seemed like they actually wanted to help, n..."

"I am in Great Falls Montana on a work assignment and went into Scheels to get some fishing equipment. One of their employees a young guy named John helped me out and gave me some fishing information. He was great and helped me a lot. I'm from Oklahoma so I don't get to trout fish a lot. John was very helpful and the other employees were very friendly and helpful. I loved my experience with Scheels. If you need anything for the outdoors this is t..."

"I had not been to Pizazz in years and was excited to be back working downtown and able frequent again. I am a foodie and I thought it would be the perfect place to do my Christmas shopping this year and wanted to inquire about ordering charcuterie boards. Also my coworkers and I frequently order lunch and coffees for the office so I wanted to check out the menu as well. I went in today, smiled and said hi to 3 different staff members and not on..."

"I've been to Pizazz Kitchen Store in Great Falls several times because it's truly a great store — they have a beautiful selection and unique items you don't find anywhere else locally. However, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. The staff is consistently lukewarm at best. Staff members offer brief, minimal interactions and then disappear rather than being welcoming or helpful. Especially one gal in particular. Tall blonde. This h..."

"What a life saver ! The girls at Pizzaz are so helpful, accommodating, and kind! I had purchased a charcuterie “board” from another place in town to go. It was... just a bit subpar. Although it was Christmas eve eve and they were beyond busy, Rhonda stepped up without question to embellish my sad board. In the end she presented me with a beautiful, thoughtful, visually pleasing, DELICIOUS BOARD! I also have to mention that Veronica and another ga..."

"I love this place! Great products, delicious treats, and incredible service! My daughter and I are hooked on both the infused Olive Oils, and the different flavors of balsamic vinegars. I highly recommend doing a little tasting, and sampling some cheese as well. It’s an entire experience that can’t be missed! The chocolate truffles are so so good. The Ladies who work there have always been super attentive, and go above and beyond to help us find ..."
