DICK’S Sporting Goods has announced plans to build an 800,000 square foot regional distribution center in Fort Worth, Texas.
The strategic expansion will create 300 new full-time jobs over the next decade, strengthening the local economy.
The facility will expand DICK’S Sporting Goods’ distribution capabilities to over 100 stores in multiple states and strengthen the company’s presence in Texas.
Fort Worth was chosen because it offers a good business environment, has a skilled workforce and is close to the company’s growing branch network in the region.
The new distribution center will join existing facilities in Atlanta, Conklin, Goodyear, Plainfield and Smithton.
Construction is scheduled to begin in autumn 2024, and the groundbreaking ceremony will create an additional 800 temporary jobs in the construction industry.
