Earlier this month, sports goods confirmed from Dick that she is planning to buy Foot Locker in a press release.
Foot Locker has been present since the 1970s, where about 700 sites are currently working in the country.
Dick stormed the scene in 1947 and has more than 750 stores.
The acquisition value is estimated at $ 2.4 billion, indicating that it is planning to keep Foot Locker as a self -standing company in its wallet.
This means that the name Locker Foot will remain and work as a separate entity, along with Foot Locker Kids, Champs, WSS, etc., for every CNBC.
Even Lauren Hobart, CEO of Dick, indicated a phone call with investors recently that some consumers “may know or do not know that Dick Watch is one loader” after the acquisition.
“Their mixture of the consumer is not the most important thing, as it makes sure that there are two strong commercial brands that meet all the needs of consumers, wherever, however, however they want shopping,” Hobbart stressed.
Shoppers are also scheduled to see Better Sports Shoe offers with the deal.
Nike, in a specific, has Dick and Foot Locker between their sentences is better.
While this may mean a new choice in shoes, it may also mean less sales opportunities.
The acquisition has not yet been completed and some anti -competition concerns raised, but Hobart said that companies “do not expect any organizational concerns” with the FBC.
Mary Delon, CEO of Foot Loker, noticed in the joint release that the acquisition would benefit from its customers.
“By joining Dick's, Foot Locker will be in a better position to expand the culture of sports shoes, raise the omnichannel experience for our customers and brand partners, and enhance our site in industry,” said Delion.
Foot Locker was struggling in recent years.
“Their mixture of the consumer is not the most important thing, as it makes sure that there are two strong commercial brands that meet all the needs of consumers, wherever, however, yet they want shopping,”

So far in 2025, the company's shares have decreased by 41 %, although the integration declaration witnessed 80 %.
In 2023, executive officials confirmed 400 stores to close the store stores throughout the country by the end of next year.
These were all the weak sites that Delon said was necessary to simplify the company's approach.
The plans were also in place to open 280 new sites.
Hobart said that some of the Foot Locker stores may continue to shine with the integration, which can be completed at the end of 2025.
Sports House
Dick, on the other hand, is still growing, and still focuses on the concept of his sports house that he has been testing since 2021.
House of Sport concept stores include beating cages, vegetables, golf simulator, and rock climbing walls.
During the profit call in September, it was noted that Dick wanted 100 new sport sites by 2027.
Hobart said the concept was “redefining the sale of sports retail.”
She also indicated that the heads of the mall were telling the company that the current parliament sites were drawing traffic on foot.
Some important acquisitions have been announced or completed by other companies recently.
Capital One, for example, ended its long deal for Discover.
Spectrum Cable and Home Internet Complett is combined with a major competitor in a $ 34.5 billion deal.
