Pittsburgh, Pa. — DICK’S Sporting Goods plans to construct an 800,000-square-foot regional distribution center in Fort Worth, Texas, which is expected to bring 300 new full-time jobs to the region over the next 10 years. The Fort Worth location joins five existing DICK’S distribution centers in Atlanta; Conklin, N.Y.; Goodyear, Ariz.; Plainfield, Ind.; and Smithton, Pa.
The next-generation facility will support DICK’S business in Texas and provide distribution capabilities to more than 100 DICK’S Sporting Goods stores across several states. DICK’S selected Fort Worth for its business-friendly environment, qualified and reliable workforce and proximity to DICK’S existing — and expanding — physical footprint across Texas.
The DICK’S distribution center will be located on an 89.5-acre site 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 develop and construct this new build-to-suit project.
With this facility, DICK’S 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, and the building phase is expected to produce more than 800 temporary construction jobs to the area. The facility is expected to open in early 2026.
JLL represented DICK’S Sporting Goods and Reid Goetz, Samuel Rhea, and Jack Barkley represented Hillwood in the transaction. GSR is the project’s lead architect and Westwood is the civil engineering design firm for the project.
DICK’S Sporting Goods was founded in 1948 and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, with more than 850 stores. For more information, visit www.dicks.com.
