A major sports retailer is making a big play to expand its Pennsylvania footprint with a new location.
DICK’S House of Sport, an immersive retail concept from DICK’S Sporting Goods, is set to debut at King of Prussia Mall.
Unlike traditional retail stores, House of Sport features hands-on attractions, including a rock climbing wall, turf field, golf simulators, an ice rink and HitTrax cages for baseball, softball, lacrosse, hockey and soccer, allowing visitors to try equipment before making a purchase.
Beyond its experiential features, the store carries athletic apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories designed for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Founded in 1948 as a small bait-and-tackle shop in Binghamton, New York, DICK’s Sporting Goods was established by Richard “Dick” Stack. What began as a single storefront expanded over the decades.
Today, DICK’S operates several brands, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Public Lands and Going Going Gone!, along with specialty concepts such as DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center.
The King of Prussia store will be Pennsylvania’s fourth House of Sport location, joining existing outposts in Pittsburgh and Scranton, as well as the upcoming Greensburg location.
An official opening date has not yet been announced, but a mall spokesperson told Whatnow Philadelphia construction is underway. The mall’s website lists the store as “Coming soon.”
