We proudly celebrated the ribbon-cutting of our new El Monte Distribution Center at our 40th Anniversary Town Hall last week! 🎉 This facility marks a significant leap forward for WSS, strengthening our ability to support the 100+ stores we serve across California, Nevada, and Arizona. With this new center, we’re equipped to streamline operations and elevate our service to the communities that have been instrumental to our success. Opening this center as part of our anniversary celebration makes the moment even more meaningful. We are incredibly thankful for the support we’ve received over the years, and we’re excited to embark on this next chapter of growth and service together! 🙌 #WSS40

September marks a major milestone for Foot Locker – our 50th anniversary! We had an incredible morning kicking off the celebration with team members and Stripers ringing the NYSE Opening Bell. Thank you, Lynn Martin, for the warm welcome and kind words. For five decades, Foot Locker has been a global leader in sneaker culture, pushing boundaries, setting trends, and fundamentally changing the way people shop for sneakers. Today, we remain at the Heart of Sneakers, reimagining the in-store and omnichannel experience, strengthening our brand partnerships, and deepening customer engagement through our Lace Up Plan as we gear up for the next 50 years ahead. I look forward to continuing the celebration all month long with our Stripers and customers through special events, recognitions, and the launch of a limited-edition sneaker and apparel collection in collaboration with Nike, adidas, New Balance, PUMA Group, and Converse. Thank you to our passionate Stripers and team members for their dedication to driving our Lace Up Plan forward. Together, we are setting the stage for the next 50 years of growth and innovation!

Everyone left with new customized sneakers that showed everyone’s creative side y poder. 🤩 We celebrate all girl bosses who continue to break barriers and do business in style. Juntas tenemos el poder! 💪💖
