Dick’s Sporting Goods plans to build an 800,000-square-foot regional distribution center in Fort Worth, TX, and employ 300 full-time employees over the next ten years.
“We’re thrilled to announce our plans to build and open a distribution center in Fort Worth,” said Sean Whitehouse, SVP of supply chain, Dick’s Sporting Goods. “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.”
The DC will be located on an 89.5-acre parcel within the Risinger/35 Logistics Park, a development by Hillwood, at Risinger and Old Burleson Roads. Hillwood, the developer of AllianceTexas, and Hillwood Construction Services, will break ground and construct the build-to-suit project.
“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, SVP, Hillwood. “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.”
With this facility, Dick’s said it will “pursue sustainability initiatives such as high-efficiency lighting and HVAC, recycled and environmentally-friendly construction materials, energy management systems, and recycling programs for corrugate and plastics.”
Construction on the facility is scheduled to begin early this fall with a groundbreaking. The building phase is expected to create over 800 temporary construction jobs. The facility is expected to open in early 2026.
