LIVE OAK (SAN ANTONIO), Texas—One of the strongest super-regional retail intersections in Texas just got even stronger with the addition of a key experiential anchor that just opened its only San Antonio-area location at Live Oak Town Center.
The new anchor, DICK’S House of Sport, opened this October and joins IKEA and Floor & Décor as an anchor at Live Oak Town Center, a mixed-use regional-draw retail, entertainment and hospitality project being built in phases on 111 acres at the southwest quadrant of IH-35 and Loop 1604.
The 100,000-plus-square-foot store has the best in sports product, service and experiences with a rock-climbing wall, sport cage, golf bays and a multi-use track and field
“We could not be more excited to bring DICK’S House of Sport to San Antonio,” said Herb Weitzman, executive chairman of Weitzman. “This store promises to be a true destination for the community and for the entire region.”
David Nicolson, president of the San Antonio office of Weitzman, handled negotiations for the center, working in conjunction with Michael Schoenbrun, Weitzman San Antonio City Partner,
DICK'S House of Sport offers the best styles from top brands in apparel, cleats, footwear, performance, gear, accessories and equipment, along with in-store experiences including a climbing wall, outdoor field, multiple golf bays with TrackManTM simulators, and a multi-sport cage that can be used to play a variety of sports including baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer. The interactive features give customers an opportunity to try product while measuring and tracking their performance. DICK’S House of Sport stores also focus on deep integration with the local community through partnerships and events.
Michael Schoenbrun, city partner for Weitzman in San Antonio who is directing the development of Live Oak Town Center, noted the interactive nature of the sporting goods location makes it an ideal concept. “This store redefines sporting goods retailing for San Antonio. More than a store, it’s a destination. The stores not only provide sporting goods, they provide athletes of all fitness levels a complete experience in an innovative setting.”
Live Oak Mayor Mary M. Dennis said, “We are very excited about welcoming DICK’S Sporting Goods to our Live Oak Town Center. The City Council and I have always wanted to have first class retail for our residents and shoppers in the Northeast Region and this project delivers on that. I would like to thank the Weitzman, DICK’S Sporting Goods, our Economic Development Corporation, and city staff for working collectively to make our Town Center a premier shopping destination.”
