08/14/2024
Sporting goods retailer DICK'S Sporting Goods plans to establish regional distribution operations in Fort Worth, Texas. The project is expected to create 300 jobs over the next ten years.

The company will construct a new 800,000-square-foot facility, located on 89.5 acres within the Risinger/35 Logistics Park, that will provide distribution capabilities to more than 100 DICK'S stores across several states. Operations are scheduled to begin in early 2026.

“We’re thrilled to announce our plans to build and open a distribution center in Fort Worth,” said Sean Whitehouse, Dick’s senior vice president 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.”

DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. is the largest sporting goods retailer in the U.S. The company currently operates distribution facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Conklin, New York; Goodyear, Arizona; Plainfield, Indiana; and Smithton, Pennsylvania.
