Welcome to Celina, Academy Sports + Outdoors!

Celina’s growth is about more than getting bigger. It’s about growing intentionally and bringing the right businesses, amenities and opportunities to our community.

The opening of Academy Sports + Outdoors along Preston Road is another exciting step in that journey. New retail investment means more choices close to home, new jobs and additional opportunities to keep dollars within our community.

As Celina grows, we remain focused on building a strong and diverse local economy that supports the quality of life our residents value today and for generations to come.

We’re excited Academy Sports + Outdoors chose Celina. Welcome to the community!

Another great morning of learning and growing with our Celina business community!

We wrapped up Workshop 4: Delivery Mastery of the Business Growth Workshop Series with business coach Rich Allen.

This session focused on customer engagement, operational consistency, and continuous improvement — all important pieces of creating a great customer experience and building a business positioned for continued growth.

We love seeing our local business owners take time out of their busy schedules to work ON their businesses, connect with one another, and take advantage of the resources available to them through the Local Business Support Program presented by Celina EDC.

A big thank you to Rich Allen for another valuable workshop and to all of our participating businesses for continuing to invest in themselves, their businesses, and the Celina community.

We’re already looking forward to Workshop 5!

Thanks to Lighthouse 828 Media for these amazing photos!
