FORT WORTH, TX — DICK’S Sporting Goods announces that it 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 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 Fort Worth location joins the existing DICK’S distribution network that includes facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Conklin, New York; Goodyear, Arizona; Plainfield, Indiana; and Smithton, Pennsylvania.
“We’re thrilled to announce our plans to build and open a distribution center in Fort Worth,” said Sean Whitehouse, DICK’S Senior Vice President of Supply Chain. “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 DICK’S distribution center will be located on an 89.5-acre site within the Risinger/35 Logistics Park, a development by Hillwood. Hillwood, the developer of AllianceTexas, and Hillwood Construction Services, will develop and construct this new 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, Senior Vice President of 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 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.
Stream Realty Partners’ National Program Management team under the leadership of Joe Latauro and Patrick Daugherty are providing owner's representative services, overseeing Hillwood in the development of the new distribution center. GSR is the project’s lead architect, and Westwood is the civil engineering design firm for the project.
