In its biggest expansion since 2017, Dick’s Sporting Goods (Binghamton, New York) plans to renovate numerous locations and open approximately 100 new stores during the next several years, according to RetailDive.
The sports and athletics retailer will construct 15 locations of its House of Sport brand this year and build or renovate 16 next-generation Dick’s stores. The company also said it will open or remodel 10 Golf Galaxy Performance Centers.
“Compared to a typical Dick’s store, athletes are traveling farther to visit House of Sport, increasing the time they spend in the store and visiting more frequently,” Dick’s CEO Lauren Hobart said on an analyst call Thursday. “Because of the engagement and experience at House of Sport, our national brand partners are providing access to unique and expanded assortments, while new and emerging brands see it as a platform for growth.”
