Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods is opening its first Colorado \u201cHouse of Sport\u201d within Thornton\u2019s Larkridge Shopping Center, an interactive mega store where athletes can browse sneakers, buy gear and even use a golf simulator.<\/p>\n

The 90,000-square-foot facility, almost twice the size of a typical Dick\u2019s store, is nearing completion on about 11 acres at 16401 Washington St.<\/p>\n

While the House of Sport will offer a selection of team sports equipment, athletic apparel and footwear, along with golf and outdoor recreation gear, it is designed primarily as a community destination centered on sports and activity, according to planning documents submitted to the city. <\/p>\n

The store will include interactive features such as an indoor climbing wall, TrackMan golf simulators and batting cages, giving customers opportunities to try out equipment and build their skills. Apparel shops, a large footwear deck and a specialty \u201cHouse of Cleats,\u201d along with hardline merchandise sections, will be located around the proposed climbing wall.<\/p>\n

In addition, a dedicated service bar will offer on-site support for gear, including bike repairs, hockey skate sharpening, and baseball glove steaming and conditioning while customers shop.<\/p>\n

The Larkridge Shopping Center\u2019s website says the new location is expected to open in late fall of this year.<\/p>\n

The opening is part of the sports retailer\u2019s broader growth strategy, which includes plans to open between 75 and 100 House of Sport locations by 2027. The company anticipates hiring for 166 positions, including 126 part-time employees, 32 full-time employees, and 12 salaried management positions.<\/p>\n

Early plans submitted to the city said the projected capital cost for improvements was estimated at $38 million, covering the new construction of the building, along with the site development needed. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The company acquired the land from Jordon Perlmutter & Co. in June 2025 for more than $5.5 million, according to records filed with Adams County. <\/p>\n

Representatives from Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods did not respond to requests for comment at the time of publication.<\/p>\n
