A new Academy Sports & Outdoors store is planned for Magnolia, according to a new state filing. The project sits within the Magnolia Village area, which continues to add new retail and restaurants. Construction is expected to begin in April 2026 and finish in December. The filing does not identify the exact pad, and recent imagery shows several possible sites along Magnolia Village Drive.
Construction
The project includes a new single-story retail building measuring 55,015 square feet. The filing lists an estimated cost of eight million dollars. The development is privately funded and will be built on private land. Work is scheduled to begin in April 2026, with completion planned for December 2026. The store will be a ground-up build and not a remodel.
Location
The filing places the project within Magnolia Village along Magnolia Village Drive. The district includes new restaurants, housing, and large retail. Nearby businesses include Lowe’s, Whataburger, McDonald’s, and 7 Brew Coffee. Several cleared pads sit along the road, and one large site west of Lowe’s could fit the building. The exact site is not confirmed, but the corridor is expanding quickly.
Company Information
Academy Sports & Outdoors is a Texas-based sporting goods retailer. The company operates in multiple states and offers equipment, apparel, outdoor gear, and seasonal items. Stores often range between fifty and seventy thousand square feet. The Magnolia project adds another location to the company’s growing Houston-area footprint. We will keep an eye on this project as construction moves forward.
