As a standalone store, Dick's Sporting Goods has an edge over Foot Locker, which has suffered from weak mall traffic. Nevertheless, Foot Locker saw improvement through the quarter, particularly as it approached the back-to-school season with the right assortment. Foot Locker reported its first positive comparable sales after six consecutive quarters of negative same-store sales. The Champs store banner also performed well. The right brands and partnerships are crucial in sports retail, and Foot Locker plans to expand megastores in key locations, including New York, in collaboration with Nike.
