FAIRVIEW, TX, UNITED STATES, April 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fairview Economic Development Corporation announced today that Academy Sports + Outdoors has signed a fully executed lease to occupy the former Macy's space at Fairview Town Center, marking a significant milestone in the continued evolution and long-term strength of the center.
Remodeling of the space is currently underway, with Academy Sports + Outdoors anticipated to open in Spring/Summer 2026.
The lease was secured with the assistance of Shop Companies, led by Thomas Glendenning, whose team played a key role in repositioning the large-format space and attracting a nationally recognized retail brand to Fairview.
The addition of Academy Sports + Outdoors represents a major backfill of space vacated by Macy's. It reinforces Fairview Town Center's position as a resilient, high-performing retail destination within the North Texas market.
"We are excited to welcome Academy Sports + Outdoors to Fairview," said Super Dave Quinn, CEcD of the Fairview Economic Development Corporation. "Landing a strong, nationally recognized brand in this space speaks volumes about the confidence retailers have in our community and in Fairview Town Center. This outcome also reflects the collaborative effort between Fairview, Shop Companies, and Thomas Glendenning's team to ensure this space continues to serve as a vibrant economic driver for our region."
Academy Sports + Outdoors is expected to deliver a high-traffic, family-oriented retail experience that aligns with Fairview's community values and attracts shoppers from across the region.
"Fairview Town Center presents a compelling opportunity for national retailers," said Thomas Glendenning, President of Shop Companies. "This lease demonstrates the strength of the market and the proactive approach taken by Fairview to attract quality tenants that complement the long-term vision for the center."

Economic development leaders note that successfully backfilling large retail spaces is increasingly challenging nationwide. Securing Academy Sports + Outdoors sends a clear signal to retailers, investors, and site selectors that Fairview Town Center remains competitive, adaptable, and well-positioned for continued growth.
