Hat World Doubles Size of Distribution Center

July 25, 2011

Hat World Inc., Indianapolis, dba LIDS Sports Group, has doubled the size of its Indianapolis distribution center, adding 150,000 square feet of warehouse space.

The retailer and manufacturer of hats and sports apparel now leases a total of 500,000 square feet from two buildings owned by Duke Realty in Park 100 on the city’s northwest side that serve as LIDS’ corporate headquarters and warehouse, as well as its production and manufacturing facilities for operations in the United States.

In June 2010, LIDS Sports Group announced plans to invest $22 million and create up to 571 new jobs by 2015. That announcement included leasing 150,000 square feet at 5349 W. 76th St. for the relocation of its LIDS Team Sports division from Madison, Wis.

According to the company, it has created 185 new jobs since the economic development announcement 13 months ago.

“Doubling the square footage at our W. 76th St. location is the direct result of LIDS’ ongoing growth initiatives across all divisions of our company and reinforces the commitment we made to the city of Indianapolis last year to create employment opportunities,” says Ken Kocher, president of LIDS Sports Group. “This additional warehouse space will play a key role in our ongoing growth plans.”
