Heads up, Birmingham—JD Sports is officially opening its doors at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover this Saturday, August 2. Known for its streetwear edge and global brand lineup, the UK-based retailer is bringing its signature style and energy to the Birmingham metro area.

Read on for all the details.

What is JD Sports?

JD Sports has grown into an international leader in sports fashion, offering a wide selection of exclusive sneaker drops and name-brand athleticwear. With hundreds of locations across the globe, this new spot at Riverchase Galleria is one of the latest to hit the U.S.

Back in April, JD Sports, a UK-based retailer, acquired Birmingham-based Hibbett, Inc. for $1.1 billion, making JD Sports a significant new presence in the Birmingham area.

Shoppers can expect to find top brands including Nike, adidas, Jordan, New Balance, The North Face, Hoodrich and more, all under one roof.
