Waxahachie, Texas will soon welcome a new company to its growing commercial development footprint. Fanatics, a global digital sports platform, will open and operate a new 600,000 square foot e-commerce and wholesale fulfillment facility in Waxahachie. The new location will create a new, rapid delivery network to better serve fans, partners and retailers in the southern United States with a significant assortment of high-quality licensed sports products across professional and college teams.
This state-of-the-art operation will be located on the Blue Star Development property at the southwest corner of IH-35E and the US Highway 287 Bypass. Fanatics’ project will kick-start development on the site. It will also serve as the impetus for additional commercial development on the adjacent parcels.
“We are not only excited and honored to have Fanatics become a piece of Waxahachie's growing economy, we look forward to the enormous success they will have here. Fanatics’ desire to participate in and become active in our community makes this announcement even more special. We welcome Fanatics to Waxahachie!,” said David Hill, Mayor of the City of Waxahachie.
When fully operational, the company plans to hire up to 250 personnel. The project will break ground later this year with plans to be operational by the first quarter of 2025.
