“The capital spending planned for the coming year reflects increased investments in community-based power stores in markets throughout the world,” the company said in a statement. Likewise, Foot Locker will also use part of the capital to elevate its digital ecosystem and improve its distribution chain in the United States.

 

“Through these two actions, our Board of Directors expressed its confidence in our ability to build on our position at the center of youth culture, by elevating both our exciting physical stores and our strong digital ecosystem, at the same time that we once again enhance returns to shareholders, ”said Richard Johnson, president, and CEO of Foot Locker.
