Dick’s House of Sports

National Facility Contractors & Dick’s House of Sport (Leawood, Kansas)

Executive Summary

Dick’s Sporting Goods launched its new House of Sport location in Leawood, Kansas, as part of a national strategy to elevate retail into a full-scale sports experience. For a flagship store of this caliber, curb appeal and structural readiness were paramount. National Facility Contractors (NFC) was entrusted with preparing the site’s exterior hardscapes and parking assets to ensure a flawless grand opening.

NFC performed concrete sidewalk repairs, curbing replacements, asphalt paving and patching, seal coating, crack sealing, parking lot striping, and exterior power washing. Every task was completed on time and on budget, delivering the professional standard required for a premier retail brand.

This case study highlights the work, the impact of asphalt rejuvenation, and NFC’s alignment with Dick’s values of performance, community, and sustainability.

The Project: Dick’s House of Sport, Leawood, Kansas

When preparing to open a House of Sport, Dick’s required an exterior environment that matched the innovation inside the store. The site needed to reflect a premium retail experience the moment a customer drove in or walked up to the entrance.

Scope of Work Completed by NFC

  • Concrete Sidewalk Repair: Replaced cracked and unsafe sections, ensuring ADA compliance and safety.
  • Curbing Replacement: Rebuilt deteriorated curbs to improve drainage and aesthetics.
  • Asphalt Paving & Patching: Restored damaged sections of the lot to extend its lifecycle.
  • Seal Coating: Applied protective coatings to rejuvenate the asphalt, slow oxidation, and enhance appearance.
  • Crack Sealing: Prevented water intrusion and future base failures by sealing structural cracks.
  • Parking Lot Striping: Re-striped over 300 stalls, ADA spaces, arrows, and safety markings, delivering a crisp and professional finish.
  • Exterior Power Washing: Cleaned the building façade, sidewalks, and entrances to create a spotless presentation before opening day.

The Importance of Asphalt Rejuvenation

A parking lot is often the first impression customers have of a brand. For a flagship location, worn pavement or poorly marked lines can diminish the customer experience. NFC emphasized the long-term value of asphalt rejuvenation, which:

  • Extends Asset Life: Seal coating and crack sealing significantly reduce costly future repairs.
  • Protects Investment: Prevents water infiltration, freeze/thaw damage, and premature asphalt failure.
  • Enhances Aesthetics: Fresh striping and coating deliver a like-new appearance, aligning with Dick’s premium brand image.
  • Supports Sustainability: Rejuvenation reduces waste by maintaining existing pavement rather than full replacement.

For Dick’s, this approach ensured not only immediate curb appeal but also reduced lifecycle costs and a more sustainable property strategy.

Results

  • On Time Delivery: NFC completed the project within the tight construction schedule, ensuring readiness for opening.
  • On Budget: No cost overruns, no change order surprises — just disciplined execution.
  • Premium Presentation: The new House of Sport opened with an exterior that matched the interior: world-class.
  • Long-Term Protection: Proactive asphalt rejuvenation extended the lifespan of the parking lot, maximizing ROI for Dick’s.

  • Experience: Delivering a flawless customer journey, from the parking lot to the front door.

Together, NFC and Dick’s created not just a store opening — but a statement of excellence and community leadership.
