Dick's plans new Texas distribution hub
Dick’s Sporting Goods is investing in its supply chain with a new distribution facility.
The Pittsburgh-based sporting goods retailer has announced plans to build an 800,000-sq.-ft. distribution center in Fort Worth, Texas, which will have the capacity to deliver to more than 100 Dick’s stores across several states. The Fort Worth location will join the chain’s existing distribution network that includes facilities in Atlanta, Conklin, N.Y., Goodyear, Ariz., Plainfield, Ind. and Smithton, Pa.
Dick’s said it will pursue sustainability initiatives with the new facility, such as high-efficiency lighting and HVAC, recycled and environmentally friendly construction materials, energy management systems and recycling programs for corrugate and plastics.
"We're thrilled to announce our plans to build and open a distribution center in Fort Worth," said Sean Whitehouse, Dick’s senior VP of supply chain. "This facility will support the rapid growth of our business, including in the state of Texas, and enable more efficient and effective flow of product to athletes whether they shop in-store or online. We're also excited to play an active role in the Fort Worth community."
Construction on the facility is scheduled to begin early this fall, and the building phase is expected to produce more than 800 temporary construction jobs. The facility is expected to open in early 2026, and is estimated to bring 300 new full-time jobs to the region during the next 10 years.
"Hillwood is honored to partner with Dick’s Sporting Goods to deliver their next-generation distribution facility at our Risinger/35 Logistics Park development in south Fort Worth," said Reid Goetz, senior VP of Hillwood Construction Services, the company selected to develop the project. "Dick’s Sporting Goods is a best-in-class company with a premier brand, we are proud they have selected Fort Worth and our highly experienced, vertically-integrated Hillwood industrial development team for this substantial new facility investment and supply chain network expansion."
Dick’s Sporting Goods serves customers through more than 850 Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Public Lands, Going Going Gone! and Warehouse Sale stores, online and through the Dick’s mobile app.
