Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. has completed the purchase of a 60-acre site in Goodyear, AZ to build a 600,000-square-foot fulfillment and distribution center expected to employ about 300 workers beginning in early 2013.
The sale first was reported in local real-estate publication Business Real Estate Weekly of Arizona and was confirmed Friday by a real-estate broker involved in the deal, according to the Arizona Republic.
Dick's SG reportedly paid about $5.8 million for the property, located inside a 1,600-acre office and light-industrial park along the Loop 303 freeway alignment, about 2 miles north of Interstate 10.
On its third-quarter conference call, Dick's SG officials indicated the DC in Arizona is expected to support 750 stores. The company will be building the DC with the construction starting in December of this year.
