DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR) today announced that Dick's Sporting Goods will open stores at two prime shopping centers in Utah . The new Dick's Sporting Goods locations will replace former F.Y.E. stores and result in higher and longer-term contracted rents. At the same time, the re-tenanting improves the merchandise mix and credit quality of cash flows at the shopping centers by replacing underperforming stores with a market-share and category-leading retailer.

"Retailers continue to search for new stores in a supply-constrained environment of mid-size and big box locations, resulting in significant opportunities for owners of high-quality shopping centers to creatively work with growing tenants like Dick's Sporting Goods," said Paul Freddo , senior executive vice president of leasing and development for DDR. "In addition to our proactive downsizing programs, small shop consolidation efforts, and other recently announced leasing programs such as Set Up Shop and Franchise Connect, this is another example of our continued effort to maximize value in our prime assets."

Dick's Sporting Goods will open a 54,000 square-foot store in fall 2012 at The Family Center at Orem , a 282,000 square-foot prime shopping center featuring anchors Jo-Ann fabric and craft stores, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us.

Dick's Sporting Goods will also open a 49,000 square-foot store in fall 2012 at The Family Center at Fort Union, a 670,000 square-foot prime power center featuring anchors Walmart Supercenter, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross Dress For Less, DSW, Petco and Michaels.  

DDR and Dick's Sporting Goods have completed six leases representing approximately 300,000 square feet in the past two years in Florida , Michigan , Minnesota , New Jersey and Utah . Dick's is a top-ten tenant of DDR in terms of average base rent and gross leasable area, with 35 locations in the portfolio.
