Sporting-goods retailer Sports Authority will open a 40,000-square-foot store in Warwick Mall next spring, according to Aram Garabedian, one of the mall's managing partners.

The privately held retailer will open a store on the mall's south side, above the Target store. Both stores are taking up space once occupied by a Macy's outlet, which moved to the mall's north end in 2006.

Since then, the mall's owners have reconfigured the former Macy's space, creating an access from the concourse to its second floor. Sports Authority will share the second floor with a second store, which is yet to be leased.

Sports Authority operates more than 400 stores in 45 states, including one in Warwick, at 105 Pace Boulevard..
