Foot Locker Inc. operates the “Foot Locker” chain of athletic footwear retail outlets along with “Kids Foot Locker: and “Lady Foot Locker” stores, Footaction USA and Champs Sports. Since Woolworth’s establishment in 1879, the business has been involved in general merchandising; in its incarnation as Venator, however, the company focused on the retailing of athletic footwear and apparel. In 2001 Venator renamed itself after its best-performing specialty chain, the Foot Locker athletic footwear shops. The history of Foot Locker can be traced through that of Woolworth and the company’s founder, Frank Winfield Woolworth, who parlayed the idea of the five-and-ten cent store into an international retailing empire.
