Dallas, TX – October 9th, 2024 – Two of America’s largest retail chains, DICK’S Sporting Goods and The Home Depot, are revolutionizing their site development processes through their adoption of TestFit, a leading AI-powered real estate feasibility platform. Using TestFit Generative Design, both companies can now optimize site layouts based on their most important goals faster than ever before.

TestFit’s design automation tool enables retailers to test various site configurations with different store prototypes and orientations within minutes. TestFit Data Maps allow retailers to assess critical site factors, including parking requirements, zoning regulations, and cut and fill estimates, helping them quickly identify the best locations for new retail stores.

For retail brands managing multiple store prototypes, this real-time adaptability can significantly reduce the time spent on manual feasibility studies and improve development timelines. This streamlined approach will be key for DICK’S Sporting Goods and The Home Depot as they ramp up their expansion strategies and adapt to evolving retail landscapes.

“Retail is making a strong comeback, and TestFit allows major retailers like The Home Depot and DICK’S Sporting Goods to optimize every site with their existing prototypes, maximizing their retail land value,” said Clifton Harness, CEO of TestFit.

As The Home Depot and DICK’S Sporting Goods continue to expand, their use of TestFit sets a new benchmark for efficient, generative retail development, ensuring that their stores are optimized for the future of retail real estate.
