CLIMATE BY CD SKI & SPORTS OPENING AT WEST 7TH
FORT WORTH, Texas (August 16, 2012) – CD Ski & Sports, which specializes in apparel and
equipment for skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding and other outdoor action sports, will open its
fifth location under the trade name of Climate. The new store, slated to open in late September,
will be located at West 7th, the dynamic mixed-use development located at the southeast corner
of University Drive and West 7th Street.
Unlike the existing four stores, the newest location will be primarily fashion-focused, showcasing
an array of men’s, women’s and children’s sportswear ideal for the mountains, beach, lake and
the ever-changing climate of Fort Worth. Major brands will include The North Face, Patagonia,
Marmot, Mountain Hardwear, Arc’teryx, UGG Footwear, Ray-Ban, Oakley, Rainbow, Keen,
Burton, RVCA, Billabong, Reef, Spyder, Roxy and Quiksilver. Shoppers will also find popular
accessories such as cameras from Go Pro and Contour, as well as headphones from
Skullcandy and Marley.
“If we are going to carry it at the West 7th location, it will be a premium brand, a niche product or
a leading fashion piece,” states Jared Shope, co-owner of Climate. “We want to offer outdoor
and fashion items that you can’t find elsewhere.”
The 4,221-square-foot store will be located at the northeast corner of Crockett and Norwood
Streets beside Keena’s of Fort Worth. Brad Douglas of McKinney, Texas is Shope’s operating
partner in this venture.
“We are excited to welcome Climate by CD Ski & Sports to West 7th,” stated Michael Wheat,
executive vice president and director of leasing for Cypress Equities, the developer of West 7th.
