PITTSBURGH, August 16, 2024 — DICK’S Sporting Goods has announced plans to construct an 800,000-square-foot regional distribution center in Fort Worth, Texas, which is projected to create 300 full-time jobs over the next decade. This facility will enhance the company’s distribution capabilities for over 100 stores across multiple states, further solidifying its presence in the Texas market.

The facility is anticipated to open in early 2026, marking a significant investment in the region’s infrastructure and job market. In addition to its distribution operations, DICK’S Sporting Goods is committed to supporting youth sports through its Foundation, which has contributed millions to under-resourced teams and athletes.
