Dick’s Sporting Goods continued investing in its distribution center network and supply chain to support retail expansion and increase distribution capacity across the south-central United States. Following a four-state market evaluation, Fort Worth, Texas was selected for the company’s new 800,000 square foot build-to-suit automated distribution center. Strategically positioned to serve approximately 180 stores, the facility reduces transportation costs, improves speed to market, and includes a potential 240,000 square foot expansion for future back-stock fulfillment.

Stream’s Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, and Distribution team led the site selection process, providing labor analysis, technical due diligence, conceptual site planning, and business case development to identify the location best aligned with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ long-term operational and business objectives. Following site selection, Stream served as Owner’s Representative through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operational readiness. Our team coordinated critical utility infrastructure, permitting, transaction support, and owner-furnished systems while integrating material handling equipment, IT, security, and operational technologies.

The facility successfully reached full operational go-live in April 2026 and now serves as a major automated fulfillment hub supporting Dick’s Sporting Goods’ expanding retail network. By guiding the project from site selection through operational startup, Stream reduced implementation risk, protected the schedule, preserved capital, and delivered a fully integrated facility designed for long-term operational growth.
