Be a sport! Gearing up at Longview Mall

​​LONGVIEW - Longview Mall will be getting a new anchor tenant this fall, when Dick’s Sporting Goods expects to open a 45,000-sf store.

Herschman Architects, an Ohio architecture and planning firm, has received building permits from the City of Longview for work valued at $4 million to prepare the location for the store, which would be Dick’s first in East Texas. 

Dick’s will be remodeling and occupying space formerly occupied by Lunar Mini Golf and other stores near Sears, at the northwest end of the mall.​

It has stores in Shreveport and the Dallas area.​

Mexican-style restaurant chain On the Border is under construction as a freestanding tenant on the mall parking lot, joining BJ’s Brewhouse, which opened there late last year.
