Dick’s House of Sport, the newest anchor store at the Mall at Fairfield Commons, will open March 7 in the long-vacant former Elder-Beerman store.

House of Sports, which is operated by Dick’s Sporting Goods, plans for the over 100,000-square-foot facility to include a rock climbing wall, multiple golf bays with TrackMan simulators, and multisport cages that can be used for baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer, per the mall’s directory.

The company has not announced what it’s doing with the Dick’s Sporting Goods store in the mall. Signs on the store last week said the company plans to move all operations into the Dick’s House of Sport.

Opening weekend activities include giveaways for gift cards for adults, DSG soccer balls for children and entries for a cash prize.

Additionally, three current and former Ohio athletes will be at the grand opening: Chris Olave, wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints and former Ohio State Buckeye, will be signing autographs from 6-7:30 p.m. March 7; Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown will be there from noon-1:30 p.m. March 8; and former Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench will appear from 12:30-2 p.m. March 9.

Dick’s House of Sport currently operates stores in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. In 2023, the parent company previously announced it plans to open between 75 and 100 new concept locations by 2027.
