San Antonio: Academy Sports + Outdoors steps up to the plate

SAN ANTONIO – With San Antonio’s growing population, increasing competition from other sporting good retailers and emerging neighborhood hotspots throughout the city, Academy has put plans in motion to build its ninth San Antonio location.

Starting this October, the retailer will begin construction on a 62,942-sf store at 7503 S. Zarzamora St. with adjacent walkways, truck docks and a compactor pad.

Work is expected to wrap up in April 2016.

Academy is planning to spend $1.5 million on the ground-up construction.
