SCHEELS plans to open a new 300,000-plus-square-foot sporting goods store in Littleton in 2029, a project that stands out for Jefferson County businesses because it adds a major retail destination just outside and partly within the county’s broader market area, with more than 500 jobs and a high-profile role in the new Mineral Place development along the C-470 corridor.
Why this is relevant to businesses in Jefferson County:
- The Littleton location is part of the south metro trade area that overlaps with parts of Jefferson County, making it meaningful for nearby retailers, restaurants, contractors, service providers and commercial property owners.
- SCHEELS says the store will anchor the Mineral Place development and create more than 500 jobs, which signals additional consumer traffic, hiring demand and supplier opportunities in the region.
- Its size and entertainment-focused format could reshape shopping patterns for outdoor, sporting goods and family-oriented spending across the west and south Denver suburbs, including Jefferson County communities.
