Academy Sports + Outdoors coming to Fredericksburg

One of the nation’s largest sporting goods and outdoor recreation stores is planning to open a Fredericksburg location.

Academy Sports + Outdoors recently began preliminary construction work on the retail spaces formerly occupied by And That and Buy Buy Baby in Fredericksburg’s Central Park shopping center (1320 Carl D. Silver Parkway).

And That and Buy Buy Baby recently closed. Academy Sports + Outdoors plans to turn the two spaces back into one roughly 80,000-square-foot space (it used to be one space when Shoppers Food Warehouse was there).

Academy Sports is headquartered in the Houston area and has nearly 300 stores. It offers a broad assortment of hunting, fishing, and camping equipment and gear, along with sports and leisure products, footwear, apparel and much more.

We can’t wait to see the new store open, and we will keep you posted on progress.
