DICK’S Sporting Goods is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its first Arizona House of Sport location in Glendale on Friday, October 17 at 9:00 a.m. The new store, located near Loop 101 and Maryland Avenue, is designed to be more than just a retail space, it’s a dynamic destination built around sports, community, and experience.
The Glendale House of Sport spans over 100,000 square feet and offers an immersive environment where customers can not only shop for the latest gear and apparel but also test products. The store features an outdoor track and turf field for training and community events, a rock-climbing wall, golf hitting bays, a putting green, and a multi-sport HitTrax cage that supports baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and all with real-time performance analytics.
To celebrate the grand opening, DICK’S will host a weekend full of giveaways, athlete appearances, and interactive activities for all ages. The first 100 adults in line each morning on opening weekend will receive a mystery gift card, while the first 300 guests aged 10 and up will receive a free 30-ounce Stanley Quencher. In addition, the first 100 kids under 18 each day will receive a DSG soccer ball.
Special guest appearances include NBA star Jalen Green on Saturday, October 18, and MLB All-Star Corbin Carroll on Sunday, October 19. Both athletes will be signing autographs from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wristbands for autograph sessions will be distributed at store opening on a first-come, first-served basis, and only official player cards provided by DICK’S will be signed.
The Glendale store marks DICK’S first House of Sport location in Arizona, with plans to open 16 new House of Sport stores nationwide in 2025 and a goal of reaching 75 to 100 locations by 2027.
“What an exciting moment for Glendale and the entire state of Arizona,” said Mayor Jerry P. Weiers. “We’re proud to be home to the very first DICK’S House of Sport. Glendale keeps leading the way — attracting top-tier experiential retail businesses, fun experiences, and great opportunities for our residents and visitors.”
DICK’S House of Sport is a transformative retail concept that combines best-in-class sporting goods with a hands-on, service-driven experience. Since launching the first location in 2021, DICK’S has continued to expand the format nationwide, bringing together product, passion, and people in a way that redefines the future of sports retail.
