DICK’S Sporting Goods plans to build an 800,000-square-foot regional distribution center in Fort Worth, Texas, that will bring 300 new full-time jobs to the region over the next decade.
The next-generation facility will support DICK’S’ Texas business and provide distribution capacity for more than 100 stores in multiple states. The company chose Fort Worth because of its business-friendly environment, skilled and reliable workforce and proximity to its existing – and growing – physical location in Texas. The Fort Worth location complements DICK’S’ existing distribution network, which includes facilities in Georgia, New York, Arizona, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
“We are very excited to announce our plans to build and open a distribution center in Fort Worth,” said Sean Whitehouse, senior vice president of supply chain at DICK’S. “This facility will support the rapid growth of our company, including in the state of Texas, and will enable a more efficient and effective flow of product to athletes, whether they are shopping in-store or online. We also look forward to playing an active role in the Fort Worth community.”
The distribution center will be located on an 89.5-acre site in the Risinger/35 Logistics Park, a Hillwood project, at Risinger Road and Old Burleson Road. Hillwood, the developer of AllianceTexas, and Hillwood Construction Services will design and build this new, custom project.
“Hillwood is honored to partner with DICK’S Sporting Goods to build their next-generation distribution facility in our Risinger/35 logistics park in south Fort Worth,” said Reid Goetz, senior vice president of Hillwood. “DICK’S Sporting Goods is a world-class company with a world-class brand. We are proud that they have chosen Fort Worth and our highly experienced, vertically integrated Hillwood industrial development team for this major investment in new facilities and supply chain network expansion.”
With this facility, DICK’S will pursue sustainability initiatives such as high-efficiency lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, recycled and environmentally friendly building materials, energy management systems and recycling programs for corrugated cardboard and plastics.
Construction of the facility is scheduled to begin in the fall with a groundbreaking ceremony. More than 800 temporary jobs are expected to be created in the region during this construction phase. The facility is scheduled to open in early 2026.
