Be in the Know of the Fashion Industry Events! #FN #WWD

Foot Locker—and the Format of the Future

"With strong leadership and vision, Ken [Hicks] and Dick [Johnson] continue to build not only one of the world's largest athletic retailers but the best in class…Foot Locker's relevance to the athlete and impact on athletic culture can be seen throughout the world." 
- Kevin Plank, CEO, Under Armour, WWD, November 26, 2012 
 
Under the leadership of CEO Ken Hicks and COO Richard Johnson, Foot Locker has seen two consecutive years of double-digit profit and a streak of 10 straight profitable quarters. The company has added new stores and revamped existing ones, creating new formats that differentiate the brand and raising the bar on consumers’ in-store experiences. In addition, the team has rebooted its e-commerce and mobile sites, helping to put them ahead of their competition.
At the Footwear News CEO Summit, taking place April 29-May 1 in Miami, Richard Johnson will share insight and strategy—make sure you’re there to hear his message. Request your invitation today.
